Innovative
An MBA degree from the University of Tennessee has become one of the most valued and respected business degrees attainable. The institution has forged a revolution in business education. As a result, UT has been recognized as a pioneer in management education by BusinessWeek, and a leader among the "new breed of MBA’s" by IndustryWeek. The Professional MBA, an MBA for working professionals, is one of the most exciting revolutions taking place at the University of Tennessee’s College of Business!
Integrated
The fully integrated, lockstep program is designed to serve the demand for a top-quality graduate business degree that can be earned in a compact time frame, while students maintain full-time employment. The integrated curriculum means that what were formerly separate functional courses in accounting, finance, marketing, or management have been replaced by one 16-month program of study, where the knowledge you need is delivered when you need it, in the context you’d find it in the real world, and in a format that allows you to immediately apply that knowledge.
Applied
This curriculum is designed around the way businesses, organizations, and people really work. Each class delivers management tools that can be applied immediately at each student’s place of work. In fact, actual application of new skills is a requirement of The Professional MBA. Student projects focus on topics like creating value for customers, launching new products, and facilitating change within an organization. You’ll find no useless theories in The Professional MBA; only practical skills that deliver value to both the students and their employers.
Relevant
The Professional MBA is a response to a strong message we heard years ago from business leaders and top executives: "Educate our leaders with less theory and more practice! We don’t care if our graduates get A’s in accounting. We want people who know how accounting fits into the big picture!"
