University College
We are about student success.
The mission of MTSU's University College is simple; everything we do is designed to enhance our students' success -- academically and beyond. We serve working adults, parents, veterans and active military, as well as traditional college students.
|
Our average student is a little older than most college students and has responsibilities outside of the college environment. University College offers a variety of programs and services that enable students to gain the most from their college experience. MTSU is one of only a few public universities in Tennessee to be awarded the Adult Learning Focused Institution designation based on their commitment to provide programs and services customized for the adult student. The Adult Degree Completion Program at MTSU is the largest adult program in the state of Tennessee and provides exemplary service to students. Our offices have moved to 503 E. Bell Street, off Greenland Drive, in Murfreesboro. Call (615) 494-7714 for directions. |

Degrees for working adults |
|
 Fitting school around the demands of a full time job, a family, civic commitments
and other responsibilities requires flexibility in program design. Through our innovative
Prior Learning Assessment program students can often turn the knowledge gained in the workforce into college
credits – allowing them to graduate sooner and for less money. Graduate and undergraduate degrees available.

Online degrees and classes |
|
 Students take advantage of online classes and programs for a variety of reasons. A student can take a single class or complete their entire
degree program online. Online classes let people continue their education without
coming to campus. The flexibility of online programs allows them to better fit their
education around other commitments.

Customizable Degree Program |
Advising |
 |
 |
| Many students have unique goals and would like to design a degree to match their exact career interests. With the BS Integrated Studies students can custom design the program, tailor courses to their unique career goals, maximize the credits they have already earned, and be prepared for graduate school. Additionally students may be able to receive academic credit for military experience or other certifications. The Bachelor of Science in Integrated Studies degree that we offer in our University Studies Program is often a perfect fit. | Advising is critical to the successful completion of academic goals. We offer advising services to students of our degree programs as well as for students who are undecided about a major and need some additional support. |
