Middle Tennessee State University Is State's Largest
And the winner is: Middle Tennessee State University, now the largest undergraduate university in the state.
The Murfreesboro university had an enrollment of more than 23,000 students during the 2006-2007 school year. It recently surpassed the University of Tennessee-Knoxville as the state’s enrollment leader.
Reasons for high enrollment at MTSU include its location in the middle of the state, affordability and programs not offered in surrounding states. Those popular programs include recording industry management, aerospace and horse science curriculum.
