Welcome to The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Interim Chancellor
At UTC, education is about more than earning a degree—it’s about asking the right questions, solving real problems and building a future with purpose. Founded in 1886, UTC has a long tradition of academic excellence, innovation and service. As part of the University of Tennessee System, we’re proud to offer the resources of a statewide institution while maintaining the close-knit, student-focused experience that sets us apart.
With nearly 12,000 students and more than 70 academic programs, UTC offers a hands-on approach to learning. Whether through research, internships, experiential coursework or partnerships in Chattanooga and beyond, students gain the skills and experience to turn knowledge into action.
UTC is one of the most affordable universities in Tennessee, with in-state tuition just under $11,000 per year. With small classes and faculty who know their students, UTC offers the kind of personalized learning that leads to real opportunities—whether through industry connections, hands-on coursework or research that changes the world.
As a two-time UTC graduate, I know what it means to be part of this university—how it pushes you, connects you and sets you up to do meaningful work. I invite you to visit campus, meet our faculty and students and see for yourself what makes UTC a university that opens doors and expands possibilities.
