About University College

Built on the foundation of the former College of Continuing Education and Distance Learning, MTSU's University College is designed to focus on the long term success of our students by providing the services and support needed by students to succeed both academically and beyond.

By bringing together many of the discrete groups that have worked so hard and providing these services and putting them within a single entity, the University College is poised to develop systems and structures to make these processes simpler and better for our students.
