Middle Tennessee State University

Location: Murfreesboro,  Tennessee

Middle Tennessee State University, situated at the geographic center of the state in Murfreesboro, is a comprehensive university that embraces its role as a preferred destination for Tennessee undergraduates while expanding its reach nationally and internationally through signature programs and select master’s and doctoral programs. 

The University is committed to preparing students to thrive in their chosen professions and a changing global society. With an enrollment of more than 20,000 students, it has been named to The Princeton Review’s list of the Best 390 Colleges in the U.S. six years in a row.

Many of our programs have earned national and sometimes international recognition for excellence. A highly trained and dedicated group of faculty members not only prepares our students for their first job, but for careers that might not yet exist. Gaining a comprehensive education prepares students to manage diverse challenges of the job market. 

The student success initiative makes sure that students have access to free tutoring, regular and consistent advising, career training and assessments, and supplemental instruction- ensuring that you have a place to go when you need help.

Many of the programs are developed with industry partners to ensure that our curriculum fits the needs of the job market and provides our students with experiential learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Students often participate in internships to gain firsthand experience which often results in job offers from those same companies.
