Graduation Rate
Tennessee State University graduation rate is below the national average.
35% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Tennessee State University completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This indicator doesn’t take into consideration students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare schools.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Tennessee State University
Overall Rating:
What a disgusting place to get your education. In the library it sounds like a zoo. The dorms are filthy and are extremely loud. The bathrooms are filthy. ThE university is literally decaying. So many things are broken and nonfunctional. The food in the cafeteria is barely edible. Some of the classrooms look like they have been abandoned for years. The financial aid office is an absolute nightmare. Everybody that works in there is a moron. The campus is not safe. It's in a bad neighborhood. Sure you can get a degree from here. But all the things that you would have to endure to get it is most likely not worth it. The type of students here will not be good for you if you are serious about your education. You'll be saddened by how many students don't care anything about the education. Prepare to present a stupid TSU ID upon entering the facilities. Prepare for all the immature and unprepared students that abound here. If your reading this far then I can only offer you one thing. That is a very stern warning. DO NOT GO THROUGH THE PAIN AND MISERY I WENT THROUGH BY ATTENDING THIS COLLEGE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH IT FOR YOU. YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT. THIS REVIEW IS THE END OF YOUR HOMEWORK FOR THIS COLLEGE.

Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Tsu stand for Tennessee suck universal!! Nobody owe yall nothing!! Stop been mad all the time get your education move on with your life!!!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™All the people giving TSU 5 stars please hear us parents and students who are currently attending. It is the worst mistake I and my daughter made. Her entire freshman year has been ruined she is a resident of Wilson hall and that place needs to shut down and torn down and rebuilt. And when you voice your opinion about the issues then you are the problem. NO I'm not the issue as long as TSU is getting federal/state and my hard earned dollars they will have to do BETTER.Financial Aid is a joke can never reach anyone and don't send an email because you will never get an answer.Thanks for NOTHING TSU but we are done after this Spring semester.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™The class instructors have been back to back world class credentials for my two years. Some other faculty can be a distraction since we have kids coming from all over, not just southern ways. But that is this area problem. The educated college kids and Profs don't see color only any longer. The uneducated kids and staff do stick out though. But sadly also aren't here more than a semester or so. I’ve had a great experience so far overall. Ten stars to instructors and classmates, three for other. I love TSU! - ♥️one of our white girls
