Overview
Founded in 1912, Tennessee State University has grown dramatically from a small college to two campuses: The 450-acre main campus and the downtown Avon Williams campus, located in the heart of Nashville near the state capitol. The diverse student population of more than 9,000 represents 46 states and 45 countries. TSU has been listed for 11 consecutive years in the U.S.News & World Report "Guide to America's Best Colleges."
Tennessee State University is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational land grant university offering 45 bachelor's degrees and 24 master's degrees. Doctoral programs include biological sciences, psychology, public administration, computer information systems engineering, administration and supervision, and curriculum and instruction.
College of Business
All MBA classes are held on the Avon Williams Campus in downtown Nashville. The campus boasts a modern business library with a collection of books, bound periodicals, microfilm, microfiche, and more than 1,200 periodical subscriptions. CD-ROM databases include Standard Tax Reporter, Compact Disclosure, and INFOTRAC Business Collection, and reference services include Moody, Standard and Poor, Value Line, and McMillan.
The newly renovated campus offers state-of-the-art classrooms that can display computer-generated notes or graphics and information from the Internet. Additionally, two computer laboratories are open during convenient hours for students, a trading room provides immediate access to market analysis, and complete teleconferencing capability is available for use in courses and student investment projects.
Adding to the quality of the MBA program is a dedicated faculty with outstanding credentials in teaching, research, and business. One hundred percent of faculty members have doctoral degrees from a broad range of leading universities in the United States and Canada. Students benefit from faculty dedicated to their fields of study and willing to work with students both inside and outside the classroom. Because of small class sizes, MBA candidates have the opportunity to question, explore, and discuss subject matter in great detail.
