MTSU has a wonderful aerospace program and is known for its recording industry program. It is one of the few universities still offering a Human Sciences (Home Economics) program. It also has a very strong Agriculture Department, especially its Horse Science studies. Students come from all over the nation for the Aerospace and Recording industry programs. MTSU began as a teacher's college in the early 1900's and continues to produce a large amount of the area's teachers.
There are seven national sororities located on campus. These sororities are housed in chapter rooms, but have been planning for several years to build small chapter houses on campus. When my daughter pledged in 2002, we heard they would be built by 2004, but as of now have not even been started. There are many fraternities on campus, and Greek life is quite strong.
The University, part of the Sun-belt conference, has not performed very well in football in the three years of membership in the conference. However, MTSU has always had very strong men's and women's basketball teams.
Murfreesboro is a beautiful town, and many who graduate from MTSU choose to make it their permanent residence. I began school there thirty years ago and have always loved the university. I hope this information is helpful to you. You and your family can check out their website at
