Faculty and Staff Profiles

The heart of the University of Tennessee's MBA programs is our dedicated faculty and staff. 

Our professors are world-class scholars who combine strong academic and research backgrounds with real-life business expertise. Most have held professional positions with and continue to consult for major corporations, giving them the insider's view that immeasurably enriches the course content they teach. Fully committed to the success of their students, they make themselves readily accessible to you throughout the year and interact closely with you both inside and outside the classroom.

Our professional administrative staff has one goal: total support of the students and faculty. That means seamlessly eliminating distractions that interrupt your studies. Our staff will handle all the details of your university-related business so that you can focus completely on your education and maintain your work/life balance.
