It offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, Master of Education, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Business Ad ministration and Master of Science. Located in the center of the industrial South, in an area of great natural beauty and historic interest, it provides in a metropolitan setting the advantages of a small campus atmosphere. ACCREDITATION Accreditation is a measure of standing among educational institu tions. To be accredited means that the University has met stand ards established by an accrediting agency. Accreditation is impor tant to the student. It assures him that credits earned at the Uni versity are transferable to other colleges and universities, are acceptable to employers and to certification agencies, and that degrees from the University of Chattanooga are recognized by "grad uate and professional schools. General accreditation is by regions and the University is a mem ber of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and has been accredited by that agency since 1910. The University is also accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and is approved by the American Association of University Women and the American Medical Association. Membership in organizations, while not involving accreditation in the strict sense, indicates standing or prestige of an institu tion. The University is a charter member of the Southern Univer sity Conference, and is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, American Alumni Council, Ameri can Council on Education, Association of American Colleges, As sociation of University Evening Colleges, Association of Urban Universities, Council on Social Work Education, and the Tennessee College Association. HISTORY The present University of Chattanooga is tribute to the community and the former Methodist Episcopal Church through whose united efforts Chattanooga University was chartered and opened'in 1886. Three years later it was consolidated under the name of Grant University with another church-related school, East Tennessee Wesleyan University, at Athens. From 1892 to 1903 the liberal arts college was located at Athens and the professional schools of medicine, law, and theology at Chattanooga. A reorganization in 1904 returned the undergraduate college to Chattanooga. In 1907 the present name, University of Chattanooga, was adopted, the unit at Athens being continued as the preparatory and normal school. The Athens School was independently reorganized as Tennessee Wesleyan College in 1925. In 1909 the Methodist Episcopal Church deeded all University property to a self-perpetuating board of trustees. The following year the professional schools were discontinued and all resources devoted to the development of the undergraduate program. With this change in policy, the University was invited in 1910 to be come a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, and the General Education Board offered a generous grant for buildings and endowment, with the stipulation that additional funds be raised by the University and that the University retain its location in the heart of the city. Successful completion of this campaign was followed by con struction of the buildings now surrounding the Quadrangle, and with new facilities and full attention to the undergraduate program, the modern college began to emerge. In 1912 summer work was in troduced and, except for a brief interruption during war years, has continued and increased. As curricular needs developed, new de partments were added and requirements modified. In 1930 the first evening classes were offered. Cadek Conservatory and the Uni versity, which were affiliated in 1935, merged in 1948- An ROTC unit was placed on the campus in 1950. In the same year the Uni versity reorganized into separate colleges and divisions that are now the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Applied Arts, Chattanooga College (evening), and the Division of Graduate Studies. In 1886 Old Main, standing where the Quadrangle is now, housed the University's president, faculty of seven, and coeducational student body of one hundred and seventy-five. Today, more than a score of buildings on a thirty-acre campus serve several thousand students each year. The University today has no more undergrad uate degree programs than it did in 1886, but each Commencement it graduates more students than it enrolled that first year. It no longer has professional schools, but through its expanding gradu ate program now offers advanced study in three areas. Most important of all, perhaps, the University has through the years constantly added to the number and variety of opportunities for continuing edu cation for those in the Chattanooga areas.

The primary purpose of the College is to acquaint students with broad and representative areas of knowledge and to increase their ability to use this information. It seeks to develop in the student a design for mature private life, a basis for intelligent participa tion in society, and a foundation for a career. Selected courses of fered in the College provide the core curriculum which, with some modifications, is prerequisite for all undergraduate degrees. Thirty majors are offered in specific fields and interdepartmental combina tions. By the time of graduation a student should have obtained an education of wide applicability which may serve as preparation for graduate or professional study, or prepare him for ready benefit from in-service training in whatever vocation he desires to follow. Students may obtain secondary school teacher certification while completing their major. The Fine Arts Division (Art, Dramatics and Speech, and Music) offers systematic instruction in the theory, history and skills re quired to understand and appreciate the fine arts. The talent of students capable of becoming professionals will be developed in dividually to the greatest possible degree. The Humanities Division (English, Classical and Modern Lan guages, and Philosophy and Religion) acquaints the student with the language, literature, and philosophic and religious thought of his own culture and that of other peoples, past and present. Its ultimate aim is to promote, through careful study of these subjects, the student's personal satisfaction, cultural enrichment, and wis dom and strength of character. The Science-Mathematics Division (Astronomy, Biology,Chem istry, General Science, Geology, Mathematics, and Physics) makes available to the student the foundation in natural sciences and mathematics so essential for anyone who seeks to understand the modern world. The Social Sciences Division (Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology) deals with man and his environment—past and present. Its object is to .acquaint the student with the experiences of mankind, to develop his social awareness, to provide criteria for wise judgment, and to equip him for effective citizenship.

The Bachelor of Science degree program provides majors in Economics and Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Health and Physical Education, Home Economics, Music Educa tion, Psychology, Secretarial Administration and Social Work (pre- professional).
