BUSINESS PROGRAMS

What you can do with a degree from a business program:

Studying at UT

Centers, institutes & forums

Students have been learning about for-profit, not-for-profit, and governmental sectors of business for over 100 years at UT. Our centers and institutes will be a key part of your education as a business student. The Anderson Center for Entrepreneurship, for example, is dedicated to boosting entrepreneurship in Tennessee. Among research and experiential learning opportunities, the Anderson Center also offers a 10-week program called Startup Studio that is designed to help you launch your business idea. Or maybe you’d be interested In the Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research where you can help conduct research on national and state economic trends for UT and analyze data on the demography and economy of the state with the Tennessee State Data Center.

Invested in your success

UT’s business programs are continuously ranked among the best in the nation. Not only will our courses prepare you for a successful career, our support initiatives will enrich your experience. As a first-year student, you can join the Haslam Network, a peer-to-peer mentorship program. Through the program, you will be paired with a current junior to help you transition into college life. The network will also connect you with the young alumni council where recent alumni share stories from their time at UT and what they’re doing now in the business industry. And if you are the first in your family to go to college, you might consider joining the TakeOff program which gives students the chance to attend professional development workshops and visits to local companies.

Study around the globe

We encourage our students to study abroad as it allows them to gain global perspectives related to their programs. In fact, one in four students within the Haslam College of Business graduates with an international experience. Perhaps you’ll travel to Germany, where you’ll meet local business experts and take part in cultural events. Or maybe you’ll go to Costa Rica and learn how tourism, technology, and agriculture are key economic drivers. Have you ever wanted to go to South Africa to experience how culture and government influence the internationalization of local business? Here, you can!
