What Students Are Saying

The classes at TSU can be challenging, therefore it is important that you make professional relationships with your professor. Although the classes are hard, there are many resources to help you succeed.
Mikayla Austin from Cincinnati, OH
The wide-span of majors on campus are ridiculous, there should be no reason as to why you can't find something to suit you. My major is computer science and teachers are very hands on. All class sizes are a reasonable size of 30-50 students at max and give you one on one attention that may be required.
Kiara from Ellenwood, GA
WE have excellent Professor.
Brooklyn from Nashville, TN
Classes are easy and they're aren't many people in class rooms either. The Max number of students in a classroom is about 30.

Only you will be able to determine the academic rigor. The academics are what you make it. If you choose to participate in class & do your homework , study for tests, etc. then you will find that the academics are excellent . The first step is finding a teacher that will work beat for you., you will be able to do this by looking up each professor on rate my professor.com .
Ma'Khya from Southfield, MI
Honestly, Tennessee State is not a hard school to get into, but it'll make or break you. The teachers are involved, helpful and share their experiences but do not waste time in class. Collegiate assignments and curriculum is what is expected and will be given.
