• History & Memorable Moments

Tennessee State University (TSU) is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational land-grant university founded in 1912. The 450 acre (1.8 km²) main campus has more than 65 buildings and is located in a residential setting at 3500 John A. Merritt Blvd in Nashville, Tennessee. TSU is the only state-funded historically Black university in Tennessee. The Avon Williams campus is located downtown, near the center of the Nashville business and government district. TSU has approximately 8,750 students with a student/faculty ratio of 17/1.^[1]

Though it was organized as the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School in 1909 and began serving students on June 19, 1912, its status was raised to a four-year teachers' college in 1922. It was then elevated to full-fledged land-grant university status by the Tennessee State Board of Education in 1958. Since 1972 it has been operated under the auspices of the Tennessee Board of Regents.^[1]

The present-day Tennessee State University exists as a result of the merger on July 1, 1979, of Tennessee State University and the former University of Tennessee at Nashville. This resulted in a downtown campus.^[1]
