The Haslam College of Business was originally the School of Commerce, dating back to 1914. Commerce was changed to Business in 1937 and gained college status in 1947. The college-wide MBA program was approved in 1966 and the doctoral program in 1971.

Graduate programs of the Haslam College of Business are designed to prepare men and women to assume positions in the increasingly complex world of business and industry, teaching and research, and government.

Viewing the business firm as operating in dynamic social, political, and economic environments that demand leaders capable of dealing with innovation and rapid change, the college places central importance on development of students’ thought processes and leadership potential. Emphasis is focused on flexibility of mind, receptivity to new ideas, and capacity to adapt one’s reasoning powers. Our objective is to encourage the student to develop the ability to reason analytically and logically, and to develop a commensurate plan of action. Above all else, we strive to instill the irrepressible desire to continue to learn and grow in knowledge throughout the student’s life.

Interdisciplinary partnerships are encouraged among academic units in the college, with other university academic units and with the private sector, enhancing the process of inquiry and critical thinking which is crucial to total quality management. The Haslam College of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Colleges and Schools at Business International and is associated with other leading graduate schools of business as a member of the Graduate Management Admission Council.
