Learn From Anywhere
Students have increased scheduling flexibility, thanks to the MSMHR program’s learn-from-anywhere option.
This modality allows students to join live classes synchronously online if their jobs or other obligations prevent them from being on campus. The MSMHR remains an in-person program with classes held on the UT campus, but the new option gives students the flexibility to join virtually on a class-by-class or day-by-day basis to work around their own schedule.
Duration: Flexible; students can earn their degree on the path that works around their schedule including 12- and 21- month options.
Format: Cohort-based with fall start; all evening classes on Monday through Thursday evenings. Learn From Anywhere modality allows students the flexibility to attend classes in-person on campus or synchronously online.
Location: University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Haslam College of Business
GRE/GMAT: No test scores required.
