ADVISING
Academic advising is an integral part of your university expe-
rience. While the university’s policy requires students to have
one mandatory academic planning session per year (unless you
have earned fewer than 30 hours
at UT, are on academic probation,
or have not declared a major within
a specific college), the Haslam
College of Business considers ac-
ademic planning to be so critical
that we require our students to
meet with an advisor every fall and spring semester.
Our centralized advising delivery allows you to choose an aca-
demic advisor with whom you can continue to consult throughout
your academic career. Advising is much more than simply a time
to select courses for the next semester; it is an opportunity for
you and your advisor to develop and evaluate the academic plans
that will enable you to reach your academic goals.
Once you begin taking 300-level courses in your major, academic
advising is supplemented with career and professional advising
from faculty members in your major. Once per term, the faculty
will invite you to an open forum so you can learn about profession-
al opportunities and get to know the faculty and their interests.
You should identify faculty in your major with whom you share
common interests and communicate with them regularly.
UT MISSION
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, places academic advis-
ing within the teaching/learning mission of the institution and
recognizes it to be a critical component of students’ educational
experience and undergraduate success. Faculty, professional
academic advisors, and administrators promote academic
advising as a shared responsibility with students. Academic
advising serves to develop and enrich students’ educational
plans in ways that are consistent with their aspirations, interests,
strengths, and values—preparing them for a life of learning in a
diverse and global society.

uTrack is an academic monitoring system designed to help
students stay on track for a timely graduation.
At the point of admission to the university, students are required
to declare a major or exploratory track. By the end of the fourth
tracking semester, students following an exploratory track (i.e.,
business exploratory) must declare a major and begin following
that major track.
Students will be tracked at the end of each fall and spring se-
mester. In order for students to be considered on track for either
a major or exploratory area, they must complete specified mile-
stones. Students who are o track at the end of any semester
must develop an advisor-approved plan for getting back on track
before they are allowed to register for future tracking semesters.
Mini and summer semesters are not tracking terms; they provide
an opportunity for students to catch up on unmet milestones.
Students who are o track for two consecutive semesters will
be placed on hold and required to select a new major that is
better aligned with their abilities.
Tracking will begin with full-time, degree-seeking college stu-
dents.

CURRICULUM
GENERAL EDUCATION - VOL CORE
General education provides students with the foundation for suc-
cessful academic study, lifelong learning, and actively engaging in
the duties of local, national, and global citizenship. The university’s
general education curriculum is designed to help students better
understand themselves, human cultures and societies, the natural
world, as well as contribute to their personal enrichment.
The Volunteer Core general education program focuses:
Eective Communication: Students must practice the ability to
acquire, evaluate, and use information to express themselves ef-
fectively orally and in writing to a variety of audiences.
Expanded Perspectives: General education should foster a commit-
ment to respecting the diversity of personal, cultural, and scientific
values. Students should be able to explain their own values and
beliefs, as well as to understand the histories and cultures behind
those values.
Engaged Inquiries: Students should develop habits of self-ex-
amination, strengthen their sensitivity to the dynamic nature of
a multicultural world through interdisciplinary perspectives, and
collaborate with others to apply what they know.
EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
QUANTITATIVE REASONING (6 or 8 hours)

CURRICULUM
EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES (CONT.)
GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP (6 hours)
Students satisfy this requirement by taking 1 Global Citizenship-
International Focus (GSI) course and 1 Global Citizenship-United
States (GCUS) course.
Deepening understanding of one’s own cultures and traditions
requires stepping back to see how and why individuals and societies
are both similar and dierent. Contextualizing beliefs about global
events, ideas, and social practices provides students with the tools
they need to understand historical, social, linguistic, and/or cultural
similarities and dierences.
Courses in the International Focus area of the Global Citizenship
category develop students’ knowledge of international cultures and
help students develop an understanding of historical influences and
contemporary dynamics that shape the experiences of those living
outside the United States. Courses in this area are expected to
produce the following learning outcomes for students:
• Students will exhibit knowledge of the histories, experiences, religions,
and/or languages of social, ethnic, and cultural groups outside of the
United States.
• Students will demonstrate understanding of appropriate thematic
and course-related vocabulary, or intermediate-level competency in a
language other than English.
• Students will demonstrate an ability to critically compare and reflect
on dierent social and cultural perspectives.
This requirement is satisfied by taking one course from the approved
GCI list.
Link to approved courses: Global Citizenship - International
Courses in the U.S. Focus area of the Global Citizenship category
develop students’ appreciation of the variety and realities of the
“American experience,” taking into consideration categories of
dierence, such as social class, disability, ethnicity, gender, human
geography, language, race, religion, and sexual orientation. Courses
in this area are expected to produce the following learning outcomes
for students:
• Students will critically reflect on and exhibit knowledge of the histories,
experiences, and/or contributions of dierent social and cultural groups
in the United States, including those based on categories of dierence.
• Students will demonstrate an understanding of the ways that
categories of dierence have been socially constructed and aect the
socioeconomic and cultural status of and opportunities for individuals
and groups in the United States, including their own.
• Students will identify historical and/or contemporary relationships
between the United States (including the indigenous peoples) and
other global societies and cultures.
This requirement is satisfied by taking one course from the approved
GCUS list.

ARTS AND HUMANITIES (3 hours)
What does it mean to be human? In attempting to answer this
question, people have produced—and continue to produce—
culturally and historically significant works. The study and critical
interpretation of such works and their creators enriches students’
lives and helps students understand the human condition, which
is essential to our flourishing in an increasingly global community.
Courses in this area are expected to produce the following learning
outcomes for students:
• Students will demonstrate the ability to identify and describe
prominent works, figures, and/or schools of thought in the
arts and humanities.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to describe the cultural
and historical significance of prominent works, figures, and/
or schools of thought in the arts and humanities.

MINORS OUTSIDE THE COLLEGE
Pursuing coursework in a field outside of business is an opportu-
nity for you to learn more about a personal interest or comple-
ment your field of study (e.g., pursuing additional coursework in
a foreign language if you want to work in international business).
A list of minors can be found online in the Undergraduate Cat-
alog at catalog.utk.edu. Information on the entrepreneurship
minor can be found on page 43.
If you are considering a minor, you should consult with the ad-
vising oce/department for the minor. Also, let your primary
advisor know so that it can be integrated into your academic
plan. Integrating a minor into your academic pursuits is best if
done early to help meet prerequisites and course requirements.
FRESHMAN ADMISSION
Students who are not directly admitted to the Haslam College
of Business or who are transferring from other educational insti-

BUSINESS CORE
CURRICULUM
Building on the pre-business core foundation, the business
core (17 hours) consists of integrated contemporary business
management (CBM) modules in supply chain management, de-
mand management, lean operations, information management;
discipline-specific course in financial management; coursework
on legal issues; and a capstone integrating concepts and appli-
cations through a comprehensive simulation. CBM I and CBM II
each consist of two courses (BUAD 331-332 and BUAD 341-342)
that must be taken at the same time (corequisites) because of
the complementary nature of the material. As business man-
agement perspectives change, the topics in the business core
will, by design, adapt.

MAJORS
CURRICULUM
The Haslam College of Business oers nine majors:
Accounting
Business Analytics
Economics
Finance
Human Resource Management
Management
Marketing
Public Administration
Supply Chain Management
The 27 hours of major coursework combine two areas of em-
phasis. You have a choice between a “collateral” option and
a “concentration” option. Collaterals and concentrations are
secondary areas of emphasis that complement your major.
You are required to take 75 percent of your major coursework in
residence at the University of Tennessee. Your major includes all
major, collateral, and/or concentration coursework. A minimum
grade of C must be earned in every major course, including the
major, collateral, and concentration courses.
The diagram on page 20 portrays all possible combinations for
majors, collaterals, and concentrations. Also on the following
pages, you will find academic plans for each of the majors,
other pertinent information relating to the major curriculum,
and requirements for the collaterals and concentrations.
Upon the successful completion of this curriculum, you will be
awarded a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
Below is an example of how you could display your education
on your resume.
If you wish to pursue an optional second major within the Haslam
College of Business, you must apply for consideration with in-
ternal and external transfer students. Admission is competitive
and based on departmental capacity.
Once admitted, you must complete a minimum of 18 additional
hours of primary emphasis (major) outlined by each depart-
ment. These hours must be distinct from the 27 hours required
by your first major. If you choose a second business major in
public administration or economics, you must complete an
additional 27 hours of major coursework.
If you are a Haslam College of Business student who wants to
pursue an optional second major in the College of Arts and
Sciences, you must complete all curricular requirements for the
Haslam College of Business and only the major requirements
outlined by the department in the College of Arts and Sciences.
In either instance, the optional multiple majors (or second major)
may be listed on your transcript. You should understand that
meeting the requirements of second majors may lengthen your
academic program, and you should consult with advisors in both
areas. Once a bachelor’s degree has been awarded, students may
not add a second major or minor to that degree.

CURRICULUM
COLLATERALS AND CONCENTRATIONS
Some collaterals and concentrations are majors within the
Haslam College of Business (i.e., accounting, business analytics,
economics, finance, human resource management, manage-
ment, marketing, and supply chain management). Information
on these disciplines can be found on the following pages:

Business Analytics _____________________________ 24
Economics ___________________________________ 27
Finance ______________________________________ 29
Human Resource Management ____________________ 32

Supply Chain Management _______________________ 40
There are other collateral and concentration options that are
not oered as majors. To help you understand the entrepre-
neurship, information management, leadership, and resource
management collateral and concentration options, descriptions
are included on this page. Information about opportunities for
the international business collateral and concentration can be
found on page 6.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurs pursue opportunities without regard to the
resources controlled; thus, entrepreneurs play an active role in
not only identifying opportunities but also in building a busi-
ness around the opportunity. In doing so, they are calculated
risk-takers focused on value creation. The courses in the entre-
preneurship collateral are designed to hone the skills needed
by aspiring entrepreneurs. Students are challenged to identify,
evaluate, and validate new opportunities that can provide the
foundation for new ventures. They develop start-up strategies
and learn about financing the venture and managing the growth.
By the very nature of their ventures, entrepreneurs create
change and innovation. Accordingly, students explore change
models and ways to address resistance to change. As a capstone
to the collateral, students develop a business plan for a new
venture. This rigorous exercise integrates the various functional
disciplines encountered in the college and guides the nascent
venture as it moves forward. Students demonstrate the ability
to articulate a vision, mission, and values for their enterprise;
they will understand the forces that impact their industry, mar-
ket, and customers; and they will analyze competition. Further,
they will be able to identify critical success factors and the most
important parts of their value chain that drive resource alloca-
tion. Emphasis is placed on developing forecasts, budgets, and
financial projections that can be taken to investors.
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Information management in organizations is about the respon-
sible planning, acquisition or development, implementation,
and use of information and information technology assets.
Information management benefits from the application of cre-
ative thinking and problem solving to deliver solutions or apply
information to solve organizational problems and contribute
strategically to organizational goals.
Information management helps ensure that groups and indi-
viduals in all functional areas of business (including business
analytics, accounting, supply chain management, finance, hu-
man resource management, management, and marketing) have
ecient access to and make eective use of the information they
need to do their work and to develop themselves. Information
management focuses on the development of skills, practices,
and confidence to think creatively to solve complex and unstruc-
tured problems while learning about the tools and techniques
to develop, implement, and use information technologies.
LEADERSHIP
Eective leadership has taken on a new significance as organi-
zations face a dynamic environment characterized by unprece-
dented uncertainty, global challenges and intense competition.
Strong leadership skills are necessary in all functional specialties.
The leadership collateral helps students develop professional
skills for managerial roles in organizations, allows for self-as-
sessment focused on understanding leadership strengths and
weaknesses, and fosters a greater understanding of critical
leadership skills.

**The accounting program oers an opportunity to participate in two
full-time, highly structured internship programs. The faculty strongly en-
courages accounting majors to participate in one or both programs. Both
programs require full-time work for a 10- to 12-week period performing the
work of entry-level professional accountants. During this time, students
take no academic coursework.
**The first program (summer between junior and senior years) emphasizes internships in
industry. Students must declare their interest in this program in the November preceding
the internship and participate in a resume preparation workshop and an interviewing
workshop. Interviews are conducted during February preceding the internship. The second
program (targeted for students who intend to enroll in the MAcc program) emphasizes
internships with public accounting firms. These internships are primarily available the
spring of the senior year. Limited opportunities are available during the summer. Students
seeking these internships must attend the “Meet the Firms” event held on campus in late
August or early September each year.

An important application of statistics is business analytics, which
is the use of data analysis and modeling to help businesses
achieve better performance. For example, in order to know
how to improve business performance, a retailer may need to
objectively compare the performance of several dierent retail
outlets. An online marketer may need to set up experiments to
test the eectiveness of dierent website layouts. An insurance
company may need to analyze its claims to identify those most
likely to be fraudulent. A grocery chain may wish to analyze its
customer records to determine how to use coupons to increase
the loyalty of its customers and to increase the amount each
customer spends.
The fields of opportunity for business analysts are numerous
and include economics, finance, market research, e-commerce,
engineering, manufacturing, transportation, education, medi-
cine, psychology, agriculture, and computer and social sciences.

MAJORS
Economics uses a unified framework to study a wide variety of
business-relevant, and society-relevant, issues. Economists analyze
decision-making by consumers, workers, and employers; market
outcomes like prices, international trade flows, energy and resource
utilization, wages, and foreign exchange rates; and policy for the
national and international economy but also for local or even
individual matters like tax rates, pollution regulations, and health
care. The economist’s toolkit contains not just this unified frame-
work, but also statistical tools special to economic analysis and
methodologies for evaluating new programs, assessing economic
impact, and performing cost-benefit studies.
An economics degree provides a strong foundation in critical
thinking, analytical techniques, and problem-solving. Majors
pursue careers in business, consulting, all levels of government,
and a variety of other fields. Students also go on for law or MBA
degrees or advanced degrees in economics, business analytics,
or other fields.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
How an organization manages its human assets—its talent—may
be the single most important factor in sustained competitive
success. Human resource management requires attracting,
developing, and maintaining an eective workforce within an or-
ganization. Human resource management professionals forecast
human resource needs and recruit and select individuals to match
job needs. They also develop training programs, performance
appraisal procedures, and compensation systems.
Human resource management education provides students with
the technical knowledge and training to immediately assume a
position in human resources in a modern business. The intern-
ship is an important part of the HRM major. It gives each student
an opportunity to apply HR knowledge, gain experience, and
obtain possible job placement. Human resource management
professionals may also hold positions in government agencies
or non-profit organizations.

MAJORS
Marketing in an organization has responsibility for identifying
who customers are, what they need and want, and how best to
meet those needs/wants by creating and delivering superior val-
ue to them. Marketing professionals use strategy tools to target
customers, create value propositions and positioning for each
target, and deliver and communicate value to these customers
through product design, pricing, advertising, personal selling,
promotion, and distribution.
Marketing education enables one to pursue varied career oppor-
tunities critical to organizations. Typically, a career in marketing
begins in either consumer or industrial sales or retailing, which
eventually may lead to management positions in any of several
areas. For example, marketing professionals may hold positions
in advertising, brand management, sales management, promo-
tion management, marketing research, distribution, and other
related areas.

The public administration major is a joint program sponsored
by the Departments of Economics and Political Science. It is
designed for students interested in government and non-profit
enterprises, namely in the formation of public policy and the
practice of public sector management among many other
areas of the interface between the public and private sectors.
The program combines general education in business principles
with specific courses in the economic and political aspects of
government policies. Students choose electives to focus their
interest or expertise.
Public administration majors pursue careers in a wide variety of
areas in both the private and public sectors, the latter at the fed-
eral, state, and local levels. Examples include tax administration
and budget analysis, city management, governmental relations
within large corporations and industry trade associations, the
management of non-profit organizations, policy analysis in a
non-governmental organization, and the functional areas of
government such as education, healthcare, environment, and
economic development. In addition to the Master of Public
Administration degree, many undergraduate majors pursue
graduate programs in law, economics, or public policy.

Supply chain management encompasses the planning and manage-
ment of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conver-
sion, and all logistics management activities. It drives coordination
of processes and activities with and across marketing, sales, product
design, finance, and information technology, as well as with channel
partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service
providers, and customers, with the purpose of delivering a cohesive
and high-performing business model. In essence, supply chain
management integrates supply and demand management within and
across companies.
Our internationally recognized supply chain management program is
currently regarded as one of the most comprehensive and contem-
porary programs in the nation. The program oers a fundamental yet
innovative curriculum. Students develop important skills required of

RESOURCES AND USEFUL INFORMATION

RESOURCES AND USEFUL INFORMATION
Your grade point average (GPA) is a measure of your academic
performance for a semester and/or cumulatively during your career
at the university. At the end of each semester, your instructor will
assign you a grade based upon your mastery of the course material.
Your GPA is calculated by dividing your grade quality points you
earned by the total number of hours you attempted (for the semes-
ter or cumulatively). The result, rounded o to two decimal points,
is your GPA.
GRADES CALCULATED INTO YOUR GPA
Below are the numeric values for grades earned.
SATISFACTORY GRADES UNSATISFACTORY GRADES
A 4.00 C- 1.70
A- 3.70 D+ 1.30
B+ 3.30 D 1.00
B 3.00 D- 0.70
B- 2.70 F 0.00
C+ 2.30
C 2.00
GRADES THAT DO NOT FACTOR INTO YOUR GPA
The following grades are not calculated into your GPA; however, some
might satisfy hours toward your total hours earned.
• W, WP, WF, NR, P, S, and NC
• I, IW, IC, IS, and SI
• Grades transferred to the university after Fall 1985 or later

CALCULATING YOUR MAJOR GPA
In some cases, you might want to list your major GPA instead of your
cumulative GPA—it might be higher than your cumulative GPA or a
company might ask for it—or you might want to list both to recognize
your academic achievement.
Similar to the example below, you would take the courses specific to
your major (you can include collateral or concentration courses) and
calculate the quality points dividing by the total number of hours
attempted in your major coursework.
When including your major GPA on your resume, make sure to label
it as your major GPA. Normally, GPA is only included if it is above a
3.00. Here is what it might look like on your resume.
Major/Cumulative GPA: #.##/4.00
