Table of Contents History of Advanced Degree Programs... 3 Fact Summary... School Specific Statistics... Certificate Statistics... Contact Information... 3 Students in our graduate programs have received regional and national recognition for their work with the help of UTC faculty who are dedicated and passionate about providing a focused, yet comprehensive educational experience.

HISTORY OF ADVANCED DEGREE PROGRAMS The first advanced degree program, theology, was offered in when The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga was known as Chattanooga University. The degree in theology was followed by advanced degrees in medicine and law. In 0, advanced degrees were discontinued at the institution. It was not until that a post baccalaureate degree, as we know it, was offered. The master s degree in music was approved in and was followed in by a master s degree in education. After this modest beginning in the 0s and 0s, the University added four or five graduate programs each decade until the 0s when it added six new programs. Currently, there are graduate certificates, 0 master's degrees, one education specialist, and four doctoral degree programs. When The University of Chattanooga and City College merged with The University of Tennessee in, the merger agreement stated that UTC would become a doctoral-granted institution as soon as practicable. UTC awarded its first doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Computational Engineering in December 00. Graduate School Page 3
