Archived on 14 September 2011.


NASHVILLE (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University has earned a top 20 ranking for Historically Black Colleges and Universities according to a just released report from U.S. News and World Report.

The report on the Best College Rankings for 2012 has TSU listed at number 18 out of 79 private and public HBCUs surveyed. Spelman College topped the list followed by Howard University and Morehouse College.

The HBCUs on the U.S. News and World Report list were compared only with one another for these rankings. In order to be on the list, a school must be designated currently by the U.S. Department of Education as an HBCU. To qualify for the U.S. News ranking, an HBCU also must be an undergraduate baccalaureate-granting institution that enrolls primarily first year, first-time students and must be a school that is currently part of the 2012 Best Colleges rankings.
