M iddle Tennessee State University History
In 1909, the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee moved “to provide for the improvement of the
system of Public Education of the State of Tennessee,
that is to say, to establish a General Education Fund.”
The major thrust of the “improvement” was establishment of three normals or teacher-training institutions, one in each of the grand divisions of the state.
Considerable competition among communities preceded the State Board of Education’s decision to assign the middle Tennessee institution to Murfreesboro, a choice promoted by Andrew L. Todd and
others.
An agreement made with the State Board of Education included $180,000 from the county and city to
purchase land and help with construction costs. The
Murfreesboro City Council met in special session and
unanimously voted to fund its share of $80,000, but
there was opposition in the County Court and the
initial vote failed. Only after a resolution was read
stating that “it is to the interest and advantage of said
County, and citizens, to have said Normal School for
the Middle Division of the said State of Tennessee,
located in said Rutherford County...” did the body
vote in favor of providing $100,000. Because of that
early support by community leaders, what we know
today as MTSU was established, bringing economic,
cultural, and educational impact to the area. Now,
decades later, the community and University still are
mutually supportive, and the University remains
grateful for that relationship.
Campaigning was lively for several sites in and around
Murfreesboro (population in 1910: 4,679) as a
campus location was selected. The ultimate choice
was property owned jointly by Tom Harrison and Joe
Black which lay “just beyond the eastern town limits
on a gentle swell of land.” Eight acres were donated,
and the State Board of Education paid $5,000 for 20
adjacent acres.
The accepted bid for the first four buildings—a
classroom and office building now known as Kirksey
Old Main; a women’s dormitory, now Rutledge Hall;
a kitchen and dining hall, now the Alumni Center;
and a heating plant —was $137,855. There were
virtually no trees because part of the land had been in
crops only the season before, and a wet weather
stream affected another large portion of the acreage.
This was the setting on September 11, 1911, when
Middle Tennessee State Normal School, with 19
faculty members, opened its doors, offering a twoyear teacher-training program and a four-year high
school to 125 students. Each of those students paid a
$2.00 registration fee; room rent was $1.50 per week
(in advance) and dining hall food was $10.00 per
month that first year. The dreams and visions of many
individuals came to fruition that early Fall day, making
it possible for thousands of students through the
years to pursue their dreams.
As the world and those dreams changed, the institution
changed. Degrees, programs, departments, schools,
colleges, centers, and chairs were added. One way to
chart the progress is by the evolution of names:
1911
1925
1943
1965
Middle Tennessee State Normal School
Middle Tennessee State Teachers College
Middle Tennessee State College
Middle Tennessee State University
And the students came—sometimes in years when
enrollment elsewhere declined—and continue to
come. Having passed the 10,000 mark in Fall 1971,
the enrollment today is over 21,000.
Since 1911 more than 84,000 students have graduated from MTSU. These students can be found all
over the globe in just about any profession imaginable. Each year, the MTSU Alumni Association
recognizes representatives of that impressive body by
honoring three Distinguished Alumni and awarding a
Young Alumni Achievement Award.
Thousands of faculty members, administrators, and
staff have worked through the years teaching,
advising students, and operating and maintaining the
complex institution. History is tied closely to the
person at the helm. Presidents who have guided this
progress through the decades are:
1911

With full recognition of the foresight our founders
had, we have to wonder in 2003 if they had any
glimpses of the Normal School evolving to what has
become a major university, second largest in the state
with programs recognized nationally. This progress
has continued through the past 92 years because of
individuals who looked ahead, who insisted on quality,
and who weren’t afraid to break new ground.
Celebrate this journey through the years with us and
share with us a vision for the future.

General Information
M ission Statement
Middle Tennessee State University, a major public institution of
higher learning in the state, the Southeast, and the nation, is a
member of the State University and Community College System of
Tennessee. The University draws energy from and responds to the
vibrant and diverse culture of middle Tennessee, known for its
internationally recognized arts, entertainment, and music
communities; an innovative health-care sector; a robust manufacturing economy; and the historic Tennessee Walking Horse. As a
broad-based, comprehensive university, Middle Tennessee State
University offers an extensive range of undergraduate programs
and selected graduate programs, primarily serving students of the
region but also attracting many others from across the nation and
throughout the world. The University takes pride in providing
quality educational programs that incorporate the most recent
technologies to meet the changing needs of the dynamic
environment. At the same time, it maintains a sense of community
and a commitment to student-centered learning. Its focus on
scholarship reflects an increasing emphasis on research, creative
arts, and public and professional service-activities that mirror the
vitality of its students, its faculty, and the region. Middle Tennessee State University remains committed to the education of a nonracially identifiable student body and promotes diversity and
access without regard to race, gender, religion, national origin,
age, disability, or veteran status.
LEARNING GOALS: Middle Tennessee State University helps
students become educated individuals. Those who avail themselves of the educational opportunities provided will be prepared
to:
1. live effectively in a changing, global society by broadening
their interests and becoming lifelong learners;
2. observe, assess, and influence the contemporary world using
scientific knowledge and an understanding of cultural and
historical legacies;
3. think logically, critically, and creatively;
4. communicate clearly and precisely and understand the proper
role of free expression in our society;
5. make sound judgments with an awareness of ethical, moral,
and aesthetic values;
6. maintain physical and mental well-being;
7. acquire a working knowledge of a discipline or a group of
related disciplines; and
8. participate actively in the world community by seeking and
sharing knowledge, expertise, and creative undertakings.
UNIVERSITY GOALS: Accordingly, Middle Tennessee State
University will:
1. provide student-support services and a quality of student life
that create a campus environment conducive to learning and
personal development;
2. encourage lifelong relationships between the University and
its students;
3. recruit quality faculty and maintain support services to assist
faculty in instruction;
4. provide resources to encourage research, creative activity,
and public and professional service;
5. develop individual, corporate, and public support for the
University;
6. encourage student-centered learning through the development of academic partnerships within the public and private
sectors;
7. work continually to strengthen and enhance the academic
core; and
8. provide financial and physical resources to accomplish the
mission.
STUDENT CHARACTERISTICS: The University greatly values
cultural diversity and actively promotes environments conducive to
success for all students. Enrollment has grown dramatically over
the past few years, a pattern predicted to continue as academic
programming is enhanced and the population of the region
increases. MTSU has raised academic standards and its freshman
ACT scores annually exceed both state and national averages. The
University Honors College and an aggressive scholarship program
attract students with exceptional academic records seeking added
intellectual challenges. Student support services include a
nationally recognized program for disabled students, as well as
cultural and athletic activities that complement the academic
experience while strengthening the development of the individual
student.
Middle Tennessee State University’s student body is increasingly
diverse and multicultural. Ethnic minorities account for approximately 14 percent of the student body, and the University’s
academic programs attract students from more than 70 countries.
Many of the University’s students are nontraditional; threequarters of MTSU students are full-time. Although the University
offers a full complement of on-campus activities and living
arrangements, many students work off-campus, and the majority
commute from surrounding communities.
UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC STRUCTURE: The University offers,
through seven colleges and thirty-six academic departments,
instruction in the liberal and fine arts, the sciences, education,
business, mass communication, and a variety of other fields. The
recording industry and aerospace programs attract students
nationwide. The teacher education program has a distinguished
history and is one of the largest in Tennessee. Students pursuing
bachelor’s degrees complete general studies courses that provide
the skills and knowledge that are essential for major and minor
programs.
The University ’s graduate offerings are vital to the professional
development of the region. The College of Graduate Studies offers
five doctoral, two educational specialists, and thirty master’s
programs; the largest enrollments are found in business administration, education, and psychology. Middle Tennessee State
University anticipates expansion of its graduate programs in
selected areas.
The University recruits nationally for talented and dedicated
faculty members committed to teaching, research, creative activity,
and public and professional service. The continuing-education
program matches the expertise of the faculty with the evolving
needs of the public. Nine Chairs of Excellence and two endowed
chairs provide special opportunities for bringing faculty of
exceptional reputation to the campus. The Center of Excellence for
Historic Preservation, the Center of Excellence for Popular Music,
the Center for the Study and Treatment of Dyslexia, and specially
funded centers with national reputations enrich graduate and
undergraduate instruction, research, and outreach programs.

University Honors College
On August 1, 1998, Middle Tennessee State University became the first public university in
the state of Tennessee to have an honors college. On May 8, 1999, the new college had
its first graduate.
On December 12, 2001, MTSU and the University Honors College celebrated a successful
fund-raising campaign to match the two million dollar gift donated by Paul and Lee Martin
for construction of a new University Honors College building. The ground-breaking ceremony for the new building was held in January of 2002. The building opened in January of
2004.
The University Honors College was established to provide motivated students with the opportunity to fully develop
their intellectual potential. The intent of the Honors College is to provide an enriched educational experience for
those students who wish to get the most from their college careers. In order to achieve this goal, the Honors
College offers a setting of small classrooms to enhance interaction between students and faculty. The College
structure allows any qualifying student, regardless of major, the opportunity to participate in this unique program
which combines the benefits of a small, select college with the resources of a large university.
The Honors College, in addition to small classes, offers students the opportunity to enroll in interdisciplinary seminars, to engage in independent research, to reside in the Honors Living and Learning Center, and to graduate with
University Honors. It offers an opportunity for personal growth and seeks to promote an attitude of excellence
among its students and faculty. For Fall 2003, 1,061 students were enrolled in 84 honors courses.
To be admitted to the University Honors College as an entering freshman, a student must have a minimum ACT
composite score of 26 (1170 SAT) and a 3.00 GPA or a high school GPA of 3.50 and ACT of 22 (950 SAT).
Returning college students or transfer students must have an overall college GPA of 3.00 or higher.
To graduate from the Honors College students must complete the following:
!
!
18 hours of lower-division Honors coursework;
18 hours of upper-division Honors coursework including 6 hours of interdisciplinary courses and an independent research project, 8 hours upper-division, and one-hour thesis tutorial.
All students who graduate with Honors from the University Honors College deserve recognition.
! Students receive a certificate upon completion of the lower-division requirement.
! Students receive a certificate of graduation from the University Honors College upon completion of Honors
coursework and independent study project.
! Transcripts specify Honors courses.
! Students graduating from the University Honors College wear special academic regalia at graduation.
! Students receive a beautiful University Honors College medallion.
Questions should be directed to the Honors College Office, Paul W. Martin Sr. Honors Building, (615) 898-2152.

and advisement.

Research and Sponsored Programs
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs was established in 1992 to provide assistance to the campus in
developing proposals for external funding support of programs. Its mission is to provide services to faculty and
staff, which support their efforts to obtain external funding for various programs.
During 2002-03 the University received 97 grants totaling $11.1 million. Since 1999, the Office of Research and
Sponsored Programs has assisted faculty and staff in acquiring $53 million in external funding.
Among the $4.9 million in federal grants, the University received $2 million from the Department of Education,
$940,000 from the National Science Foundation, $509,000 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and $228,000 from Health and Human Services. State awards rose to $5.1 million with the Tennessee Department of Education remaining the major funding source for state agencies. MTSU has partnerships with Vanderbilt
University, Western Kentucky University, Meharry Medical College, the Center for Construction Education and
Training, and Rutherford County.

Centers of Excellence
The General Assembly and the Governor of Tennessee together announced in 1984 the creation of a new “Centers of Excellence” program for Tennessee public higher education. The centers, to be selected through a statewide competitive process, would build on the research strengths of the Tennessee Board of Regents universities
and the campuses of the University of Tennessee. Their purpose would be to focus the capabilities of public
higher education on service to the people of Tennessee by expanding the state’s research base, thereby increasing
its national and international stature and its economic competitiveness. MTSU is the site of two Centers of Excellence.
THE CENTER FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
established: 1984
Carroll Van West, Ph.D., Director
The Center for Historic Preservation was one of the first Centers of Excellence established in Tennessee. The primary emphasis of the Center’s work is to stimulate quality economic development through careful utilization of
heritage resources in community development. It is a research and public service institute committed to the identification, conservation, protection, and enhancement of the historic environment. Through its varied projects,
programs, and activities, the Center responds directly to the needs and concerns of communities and organizations working to include heritage in their future economic development strategies. The Center provides leadership and assistance on a local, state, regional, and national basis. It is a national clearinghouse for research in a
number of areas of the historic preservation field including information resource management, regional planning,
heritage education, rural preservation, and heritage tourism. The Center is a past recipient of the Tennessee
Higher Education Commission’s distinguished accomplished center status.
THE CENTER FOR POPULAR MUSIC
established: 1985
Paul F. Wells, Director
The Center for Popular Music was founded to foster advanced research and scholarship in American popular
music and to promote an awareness of, and appreciation for, America’s diverse musical culture. The Center recognizes popular music as a unique form of human expression that has always occupied a significant place in American cultural history, and that must be studied in the context of the variety of artistic, cultural, social, commercial,
and technological factors that have shaped the music. The Center maintains one of the country’s largest and
most comprehensive music archives, containing more than 120,000 sound recordings, 60,000 pieces of sheet music, and 15,000 books and scores. It serves as a resource for researchers on the regional, national, and international levels. The Center’s outreach activities include the production of numerous conferences, seminars, and
concerts, as well as the publication of books, recordings, and public radio documentaries. The Center received the
Tennessee Higher Education Commission’s designation as an accomplished center in 1989.

Centers and Chairs
Endowed Chairs
Several academic programs are enriched through the establishment of Chairs dedicated to the support of a particular discipline. The chairholders may be full-time faculty members or individuals from the appropriate business
or professional field who hold special seminars or lecture series. Two Chairs, funded by gifts to the University
Foundation, are administered through the Economics and Finance Department:
MARTIN CHAIR OF INSURANCE
established: 1982
Kenneth W. Hollman, Ph.D., Chairholder
The Martin Chair of Insurance was founded by a group of alumni and friends to upgrade and enhance the insurance curriculum at Middle Tennessee State University. It was named in honor of Thomas T. Martin, a
Murfreesboro insurance agent who was a highly successful underwriter for almost 60 years. The Martin Chair of
Insurance strives to provide specialized training for insurance students to prepare them for careers in various facets of the insurance industry; to recruit and counsel students and to interest promising students in an insurance
career; to develop an insurance curriculum which will prepare students for examinations for agents’ and brokers’
licenses; to provide general training in insurance for students in other disciplines; to develop and administer
cooperative education and intern programs for students who choose the insurance concentration or a minor in
the field; and to engage in public service activities such as continuing education and industry-related research
programs for members of the insurance community.
THE WEATHERFORD CHAIR OF FINANCE
established: 1986
William F. Ford, Ph.D., Chairholder
The Weatherford Chair of Finance was established to honor Jack O. Weatherford, one of Tennessee’s and the
nation’s leading community bankers. A decorated Navy veteran of World War II, Mr. Weatherford completed his
education at Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. He began his banking
career at the Murfreesboro Bank and Trust Company, where he rose through the ranks to chairman and CEO.
Holding top positions in national banking organizations, he led his bank through a series of mergers involving acquisitions of smaller area banks during this period. The Chair of Finance provides specialized training for students
interested in banking careers. It also operates a placement service for such students, provides scholarships for
them, and conducts research and seminars on topics of interest to the banking community.

James E. Walker Library
In 1912, the first library for Middle Tennessee State Normal School
was established by newly hired librarian Betty Avent Murfree. She
started the collection with donations of 75 books from persons both
on and off campus. The library was housed on the third floor of Old
Main overlooking the main entrance, its collection eventually grew
to 2,000 volumes. By 1925, a separate library building was needed
for the newly named Middle Tennessee State Teachers College.
Designed to accommodate 20,000 volumes, the structure was
erected across from Old Main on the site where Peck Hall now
stands. In 1958, a new library building was constructed at a cost of
$500,000. Located east of the older library and between the Science Building and Jones Hall, this new building
was to hold a growing collection of up to 150,000 volumes. It was named the Andrew L. Todd Library. In 1970,
an addition to Todd Library was required to meet the needs of a growing university. While this building was
designed to contain 225,000 volumes, over 600,000 volumes filled its shelves.
In the Spring of 1999, MTSU again opened a new library to meet the needs of a rapidly growing student body. It
accommodates a collection of 800,000 volumes and provides seating for 2,600. The library includes a four-floor
atrium that serves as the central organizing element for the interior spaces and which brings controlled natural
daylight to the reader and study spaces within the building. In the Fall of 2001, the new library was named the
James E. Walker Library, honoring a former MTSU president.
The building infrastructure includes an extensive electronic information distribution system that is connected to
the campus-wide, fiber optic backbone. Library instruction rooms are equipped to support state-of-the-art
multimedia instruction techniques in accessing and retrieving electronic information resources.

Continuing Studies and Public Service
The mission of the Division of Continuing Studies and Public Service is to extend resources of the University through
partnerships, outreach, and distance learning to provide high quality educational opportunities for lifelong learning.
The Division plays an integral role in meeting the goals of the University by offering academic, personal enrichment,
and professional programs.
To achieve its goals the Division is divided into two main areas–credit and noncredit. The credit area coordinates
distance learning, off-campus courses, summer school, evening classes, advising for the Bachelor of University
Studies degree, and the Regents Online Degree Program. The noncredit area caters to professionals interested in
updating skills and groups or organizations desiring some type of educational experience.
Credit Area
Distance Learning Courses
Distance learning courses include courses via video conferencing, telecourses, correspondence, and online
courses. Video conferencing technology allows courses to be instructed at one site while being received simultaneously at multiple sites. Telecourses are courses offered via cable television or videotape. Correspondence
courses involve individual, independent instruction of a student by an instructor on a one-to-one basis. Online
courses are accessed over the Internet through e-mail, newsgroups, distribution lists, and the World Wide Web.
More information about distance learning courses is available by calling (615) 898-5611.

The noncredit department extends continuing education services and programming resources designed specifically
to address the lifelong learning needs of its students. The mission of the noncredit department has remained
constant —to provide educational opportunitites to nontraditional students.
The boundaries of distance, time, and accessibility are pushed to reach students wherever they are. Programs are
offered in a variety of modes, helping people of all ages achieve degrees and certificates, accomplish professional
development goals, and pursue recreational and intellectual interest.
The diverse educational opportunities, quality programs, and dedicated service give student access to the vast and
valuable resources of the university. Lifelong learning can be made a reality for anyone, anywhere, because everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their quality of life through higher education.
A current course catalog is available by calling (615) 898-2462.
