2 UNIVERSITY The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is a national model for metropolitan universities. In collaboration with our many regional partners, we offer our students an experiential learning environment graced with outstanding teaching scholars in bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs. The university offers 40 BS, 23 MS, and 5 Phd programs in four academic colleges: the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Engineering & Computer Science, and the College of Health, Education & Professional Studies. Since its founding as Chattanooga University in 1886, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has developed an institutional excellence which rests on an unusual blend of the private and public traditions of American education.

3 UNIVERSITY (cont.) For 83 years, the University was a private school. Three years after its founding, the University was consolidated with another school, East Tennessee Wesleyan University at Athens, under the name of Grant University. In 1907 the name University of Chattanooga was adopted. In 1969 the University of Chattanooga and a junior college, Chattanooga City College, merged with the University of Tennessee, one of the oldest land-grant universities in the nation, to form the UTC campus. Pledged to the service of the entire state, the University of Tennessee has emerged as a statewide system consisting of four primary campuses. The new campus was given the mandate to devote the major portion of its resources to the development of excellence in undergraduate education and in selected areas of graduate study.

4 COLLEGE HISTORY & OVERVIEW Engineering Program established in 1969, offering one Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering. College of Engineering formed in College of Engineering and Computer Science established in Discipline-based degrees initially offered beginning in Now 44 years young, the college offers fully-accredited degrees in 6 undergraduate, 3 master s, and a Ph.D. programs. The college also offers 12 graduate certificates. Undergraduate and graduate students come to the College of Engineering and Computer Science from 65 Tennessee counties, more than 20 states, and 13 nations. Active student chapters representing 15 professional organizations exist.
