Tennessee State University
Located on more than 500 acres in north Nashville, Tennessee State University offers 43 bachelor's degrees
and 26 master's degrees, and awards doctoral degrees in five areas: biological sciences, psychology, public administration,
curriculum and instruction, and administration and supervision.
Through unprecedented state funding, Tennessee State University has completed a $112 million capital
improvement project, through which it has constructed eight new buildings and renovated virtually every
existing facility on its two campuses. Projects currently underway include building a new performing
arts facility and exploring plans for a conference center.
TSU has produced many extraordinary alumni, including television personality Oprah Winfrey;
four-star general Lloyd W. "Fig" Newton, the highest-ranking African American in the Air Force; federal
judge Curtis Collier; Nashville Chief of Police Emmett Turner; Jesse Russell, pioneer of the cellular telephone; three-time Olympic gold medalist Wilma Rudolph;
and Levi Watkins, who developed the automatic defibrillator for the heart.
