About TLSAMP

Middle Tennessee State University is a partner in the Tennessee Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (TLSAMP). The goal of TLSAMP is to increase the number of
underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at MTSU by at least 100% within a five-year period. In order to reach this goal, we have three objectives:

  1. to recruit underrepresented students to pursue science or engineering as a career,

  2. to improve the quality of the learning environment for underrepresented STEM students,

  3. to ensure that a larger number of undergraduates are prepared to enter graduate programs.

This program is designed to give special attention to your needs to help you be successful in completing a STEM degree program. TLSAMP offers:

  • tutorial programs
  • mentoring programs
  • collaborative learning
  • supplemental instructions
  • student support
  • a summer bridge program
  • undergraduate research opportunities

Since you are a underrepresented student majoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics you are eligible to participate and I encourage you to take advantage of the TLSAMP program. Your career is your choice. You can enroll in the program by sending an email to me at cheatham@mtsu.edu.

Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas Cheatham, Dean
College of Basic and Applied Sciences
