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.
