UTC adds graduate management program
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is adding a new Master of Science in Management online degree program.
The new program, which will launch in the spring of 2024, will be housed within the Gary W. Rollins College of Business and was formally approved by UT Board of Trustees on June 30.
UTC officials said the graduate online program addresses workforce needs in Tennessee. Approximately 70,000 unique job postings for managerial positions in the state were listed in 2022 and managerial jobs are projected to grow another 11.4% by 2027.
“From the research we were able to do, there is a lot of demand from students and employers for a more specialized business degree in management,” sJerold L. Hale, UTC provost and senior vice chancellor for academic affairs, said in a statement Thursday. “This degree is unique because it places a strong focus on helping people develop interpersonal and leadership skills.”
