If you are looking for another publication such as the graduate catalog, Gatton College of Pharmacy catalog, or the Quillen College of Medicine catalog please use the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the catalog.

If you’re not sure which catalog to use or have questions about choosing courses or degree programs, please reach out to an academic advisor.

Tennessee State University

Undergraduate Catalog 2023-2024

The provisions of this catalog do not constitute a contract between a student at TSU and the University. The sole purpose of the catalog is to provide regulations, course listings, and degree programs that are in effect at the time of publication. TSU reserves the right to change the regulations in this catalog at any time during the period for which it is in effect and to add, modify, or withdraw courses at any time. All changes will be published under the TSU webpage at www.tnstate.edu . 

Scope of Catalog 

The provisions of this catalog do not constitute a contract between the University and a student who commences any program of study insofar as it relates to the degree requirements for that program during the effective period of this catalog. Degree requirements are subject to change during such period only to the extent required by federal or state laws or accreditation standards. The specific courses or activities constituting the degree requirements for any program are subject to substitution at any time prior to completion by the student. 

The remaining provisions of this catalog reflect the general nature of and conditions concerning the educational services of the University in effect at this time, but do not constitute a contract or otherwise binding commitment between the University and the student. Any fee, charge, or cost and all academic regulations set forth in this catalog are subject to cancellation or termination by the University or the Tennessee Board of Regents at any time. 

The University provides the opportunity for students to increase their knowledge by providing programs of instruction in the various disciplines and programs through faculty who, in the opinion of the University, are trained and qualified for teaching at the college level. However, the acquisition of knowledge by any student is contingent upon the student’s desire to learn and his or her application of appropriate study techniques to any course or program. As a result, the University does not warrant or represent that any student who completes a course or program of study will necessarily acquire any specific knowledge or skills, or will be able to successfully pass or complete any specific examination for any course, degree, or license. 

The Graduate Catalog is published under separate cover and may be obtained from the Graduate School Office. 

Graduate students interested in graduate work should refer to the Graduate Catalog or inquire at the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School.

Purpose of Catalog 

The Tennessee State University (TSU) Catalog is the primary general information publication for the University. It is intended to provide information for students and other persons interested in the academic programs and organizations of TSU. In order to understand the activities and programs of the institution, it is important for students to know how to use this catalog effectively. 

Students should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the General Information section of the catalog. This section answers questions concerning location of buildings and other facilities on campus, requirements for admissions and graduation, financial aid information, student services and housing. 

Student guides to the catalog are the index, the table of contents, and the glossary. Major events, holidays, and semester schedules are listed in the University Calendar. 

Students who have already made decisions concerning the area of study in which they are interested, such as English, Mathematics, Engineering or some other field, should turn to the section of the Catalog dealing with their particular interests for information about courses and degree requirements. The colleges and schools are arranged in alphabetical order, with course listings by department and course number. 

Students who have questions concerning their academic progress, curricula, or academic standing should consult their advisors or their department chairs. Those students with specific questions concerning specialized areas of study should consult with each specific department.

• Online Learning at WGU
• Admissions & Enrollment

Does WGU offer financial aid?

How does tuition work at WGU?

WGU's tuition is a flat rate that is charged every six months. You can take as many courses as you are able in that six-month term—with no extra cost. You simply pay for the term and do as much work as you can or want to during that time. This means that finishing faster helps you save money—a major benefit you won't find at most other schools. 

How do I communicate with my mentor?

You will be expected to maintain regular communication with your Program Mentor while enrolled at WGU. 

During a student's first term, the Program Mentor and student meet once each week by phone for a substantive discussion about engaging learning resources and assessments until the student achieves on-time progress (OTP).

After the first term, for students who meet and maintain on-time progress (OTP), the Program Mentor and student meet at least once every two weeks by phone for a substantive discussion about engaging learning resources and assessments.

For students on financial aid warning, probation, or termination, the Program Mentor and student meet at least once each week by phone for a substantive discussion about engaging learning resources and assessments until the student achieves OTP.

Is this program truly "at your own pace"?

WGU offers flexible pacing, meaning you can move through courses at a  pace that meets your learning style and knowledge level . Students can go as fast as they can but not as slowly. Students are required to complete a minimum number of competency units per term to meet on-time progress. However, if you choose to study at 3 am daily, that we can accommodate. 

How quickly can you finish the program?

Your personal progress will be determined by the extent of your transfer units, your time commitment, and your determination to proceed at a faster rate. Traditionally, without an associate’s degree or equivalent, it will take 2 to 2.5 years. Master's degree programs are designed to be completed within 2 years. However, we work on a  competency-based model,  which gives you credit for passing assessments and proving you can perform a task or understand a course of study proficiently. 

Can you skip ahead if you get done early?

Yes! If you are able to complete the minimum requirement before your term is over, you can add more courses, with no  tuition increase.

Is WGU accredited?

Yes! WGU is  institutionally accredited  by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), the highest form of accreditation.

How is an online college different than an on-campus college?

An accredited online college offers the same valuable and respected degrees that an on-campus college offers. The main difference is that online colleges offer you flexibility in your program. For example, you don't have to go to campus and sit in a classroom. You can move faster through courses. You are largely independent in your education. These are benefits that help many students pursue degrees who may not be able to attend an on-campus college.

How long does it take to complete an online degree?

It depends on the type of degree and online school you choose. Some online bachelor's degree programs will take 4+ years, and some online master's degrees will take 2+ years.

However, WGU is designed to help students accelerate their online degrees. Our unique education model allows students to move through courses as quickly as they can master the material. This means that, on average, students finish bachelor's degree programs in three years or less, and master's degree programs in 18 months or less.

What is the best online college?

We may be biased, but we believe WGU is truly the  best online college . Our unique education model, affordable tuition, and complete flexibility mean that students are truly in charge of their own education.

What can I do with an online degree?

An online degree helps you learn skills and earn credentials that will boost your résumé and prepare you for a meaningful career. Either a bachelor's or master's degree will be key in helping you be prepared for a new job, promotion, or salary increase. The specific jobs you can be qualified for with an online degree will depend on the specific degree you pursue.

Are online universities expensive?

Typically online universities are able to offer less expensive tuition compared to brick and mortar universities. This is often because there are less building maintenance requirements, staffing needs, living expenses for students, etc. At WGU for example, tuition for an undergraduate program is approximately $4,005 for a six-month term. This is much lower than most online and traditional degree programs.

Do all my existing credits transfer to WGU?

WGU has a  generous transfer policy . Our transcripts department can accept official copies of transcripts from your previous educational institutions for a course-by-course evaluation that compares the context of your courses to those in our programs, to tell you what is comparable and transferable.

What will be needed for admissions?

It depends on the program you are interested in pursuing. Some programs will have additional requirements however, the  general admissions process  is as follows: 

• Complete the enrollment application
• Contact Enrollment at 866-225-5948 to go over the program and admissions process specific to your desired degree program

How soon can I start?

Will another school or employer accept my WGU degree?

WGU is institutionally  accredited  by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), the highest form of accreditation. WGU graduates go on to continue their education at many colleges and universities. When WGU alumni self-report acceptance into graduate or doctorate programs,  we add the university to a list  so you can see where WGU graduates are continuing to pursue higher education.

How does WGU support military students?
