TRUE FIT

If you’re out of state, MTSU can still be an affordable option.

In fact, MTSU is a favorite destination for transfer students within Tennessee, as well.

We are a comfortable driving distance from several areas in the Southeast, and many MTSU majors are ranked among the best programs in the nation.
