Your life on campus
At MTSU
we believe your
education extends
beyond the
classroom.
Possibilities for involvement abound on campus.
Almost 300 organizations are active at MTSU,
including fraternities and sororities, honor
and professional societies, clubs, political
groups, religious groups, interest groups, and
intramural sports teams. Join theatre, the
Band of Blue, or the award-winning horse
judging team. Involvement in one or several of
these organizations will enhance your MTSU
experience, increase your likelihood for success,
and make MTSU home.
The MTSU student body is diverse. Enrollment
averages more than 25,000 students:
approximately 90 percent are undergraduate,
53 percent are female, 47 percent are male,
and 22 percent are minority. Twenty-four
percent attend part-time. Fifty-two percent
of our students take evening classes.
MTSU students come from 94 Tennessee
counties, 46 states, and more than 60
countries.
Exceptional student services are essential,
not a luxury. At MTSU these include
career guidance; counseling; tutoring;
health services; social, recreational, and
fitness activities; and more.
The Career Development Center guides
that important job search, Disabled Student
Services helps with special needs, and the
Honors College challenges superior students.

Another avenue open to students is
studying abroad, including exchange,
travel, study, and work programs.
Five exchange agreements in Asia and
one in Europe have almost doubled
the opportunities for students to
gain international experience. An
extensive study abroad and student
exchange program is coordinated by
the MT Abroad Office.
Counseling Services, an Intercultural and
Diversity Affairs office, academic advisors in
each undergraduate college, and the Academic
Support Center for undecided majors complement
MTSU’s behind-the-scenes academic support.
The possibilities for
involvement are limitless.
