Mission
Tennessee State University, a Historically Black College/University (HBCU), fosters scholarly inquiry and research, life-long learning, and a commitment to service. Tennessee State University aspires to achieve national and international prominence, building on its heritage and preparing leaders for a global society. Tennessee State University maintains the following core values: Excellence, Learning, Accountability, Integrity, Shared governance, Diversity, and Service. Aligned with the University mission and core values, the academic vision of Tennessee State University (TSU) affirms the importance of teaching, learning, research and service. TSU aspires to build on its historic mission by extending its geographic reach. Because of Tennessee State University's historic past and its present reputation as a top-tier public HBCU, the institution???s geographic reach extends to traditional African-American students and other under-represented populations throughout the State of Tennessee and the nation who value a quality education. Because of its location in the state capital, a federal gateway to America's south and a major hub for healthcare, music, banking, publishing, and transportation industries, offers unparalleled research and service opportunities to students and scholars from around the globe. TSU's primary growth area is in the middle Tennessee region from which the University's undergraduate and graduate programs draw both traditional and non-traditional students of all races. The University seeks to extend its reach to contiguous counties in Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, and through distance education and other alternative delivery systems, the University extends a limited number of high quality programs, globally. Tennessee State University is Nashville's only public University. It is an 1890 land-grant University founded in 1912 and has an unusual profile with an urban location (two campuses in Nashville) and a land-grant mission (and a farm and a nursery). TSU offers 42 Bachelor's degrees, 24 Master's degrees, and 7 doctoral programs. Approximately 605 faculty serve a student population of over 8200 drawn from 44 states and 40 countries. It offers these degrees to students who are prepared to succeed. Furthermore, the University is committed to providing access to higher education through alternative modes of delivery to the adult and working population of Middle Tennessee. More than 74% of the student population is African American, while 22% percent is white. Growing numbers of Latino, Asian, and international students are also present at the University. The University continues to be an integral contributor to Nashville's cultural, economic and civic communities. Faculty, staff, and student engagement in the community builds mutually beneficial relationships through service and research activities.
