F rom the Director
We are very pleased to announce that Middle Tennessee State University has
received another award for its Fact Book. The 2000 edition won the “Best Fact
Book Award” that was presented at the 14th annual conference of the Tennessee
Association for Institutional Research (TENNAIR). The award was selected by the
vote of peers, representing both public and private institutions throughout the state
of Tennessee, and a panel of judges.
The purpose of the fact book is to provide comprehensive information and easy
access to the most frequently requested data about the University. It has been used
for planning, decision-making, policy formation, and as a public relations tool.
We appreciate the response received from our users on the evaluation of our 2000
Fact Book. Of those who responded, 100% rated the clarity, format, quality, and
usefulness of the publication as excellent or good. We plan to use the comments
provided to improve future editions.
A special thank you is extended to the staff of Institutional Research, Reginald F.
Pincheon, Peggy L. Tomlinson and Dennis R. Snow, for their valuable assistance in
completing this year’s fact book and to Betty Dandridge Johnson for her
commitment to the project. Sincere appreciation is extended to Publications and
Graphics, Suma Clark, Mitzi Brandon, Darrell Burks, and Sheron Neeley for their
expert assistance in completing this project.
The fact book is an annual publication and produced during the fall semester. We
welcome your comments, reactions, and suggestions as a means of improving
future editions.

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 two-year
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

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 20,000.
Since 1911 more than 79,000 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:

With full recognition of the foresight our founders had,
we have to wonder in 2001 if they had any glimpses of
the Normal School evolving to what has become a
major university, third largest in the state with programs recognized nationally. This progress has continued through the past 90 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.

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 studentcentered 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 non-racially 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;
three-quarters 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 continuingeducation 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.

U niversity 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.
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 2001, 842 students were enrolled in 75 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.

D ivision of Student Affairs
In recognition of the belief that an individual student’s personal development takes place as a result of activities
which occur outside the context of a formal classroom setting, the Division of Student Affairs designs and
implements programs and services that complement the academic mission in the preparation of students as
educated and productive members of society.
GOALS OF THE DIVISION INCLUDE:
◆ providing opportunities for students to explore, individually and collectively, their strengths and differences and for
stimulating responsible social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth;

◆ serving as an advocate for student concerns to the administration, faculty, staff, and other members of the University
community; and
◆ encouraging an environment responsive to individual differences and representative of the diversity of MTSU’s population.
The division comprises three major components, each standing separately, but working together to realize the

A thletics
The Middle Tennessee athletic program, which spent 47 years in the Ohio Valley Conference before changing leagues in 2000,
is in its second year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC). The Sun Belt, rated one of the top conferences in the country
in baseball, and men’s and women’s basketball, will crown its first football champion in 2001. The SBC home is based in New
Orleans, Louisiana, and the Blue Raiders will play against teams such as Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Denver, Florida
International, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, New Orleans, North Texas, South Alabama and Western
Kentucky. The football playing members are Arkansas State, Idaho, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee,
New Mexico State, and North Texas.
The Blue Raiders’ 17-sport program made an immediate splash in their first year of Sun Belt play in 2000-01 by winning the AllSports Trophy. Along with conference titles in baseball, and indoor and outdoor track, the Blue Raiders had a consensus allAmerican baseball pitcher Dewon Brazelton, a softball team that set a record with 41 wins, a football program that went 6-5 in
its second year of competing in Division I-A, and a women’s basketball program that held steady in one of the toughest leagues
in the nation.

G rants and Sponsored Programs
The Office of 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.
The University received 85 grants totaling $6.2 million. Since 1993, the Office of Sponsored Programs has acquired $35 million in external funding. The amount of external funds has increased 47% since 1999.
Among the $1.4 million in federal grants, the University received $613,000 from the National Science Foundation,
$32,000 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and $357,000 from the Department of Education. State awards rose to $3.8 million with the Tennessee Department of Education remaining the major funding
source for state agencies. This year, MTSU has partnerships with Vanderbilt University, Western Kentucky University, Meharry Medical College, and Rutherford County. These partnerships resulted in $164,000 in grant funds.

C enters 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
James K. Huhta, 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
E ndowed 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.

J ames 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.

C ontinuing Studies and Public Service
The mission of the Division of Continuing Studies and Public Service is to extend the resources of the University to
promote and provide for lifelong learning. The Division plays a major role in meeting the goals of the University
as it seeks to enhance the quality of life of the people in our community, region and beyond. To achieve its goals
the Division is divided into two main areas–credit and non-credit. 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 non-credit 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, 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) 898-6511.
