You're On Your Way to Becoming A Blue Raider!!

We are glad you are considering Middle Tennessee State University as your choice for higher education. You're not alone, as MTSU is the No. 1 choice of undergraduate students in Tennessee, as well as the No. 1 choice of transfer students and veterans in the state.

MTSU has the resources of a large public university, with programs that have earned national and international acclaim and signature majors that afford unique learning experiences. But it really does feel like a small college with lots of personal attention.

Follow the steps below to apply online:

  • First, please create a Login ID. Your Login ID can be up to any nine alphanumeric characters. It is critical NOT to use someone else’s Login ID (such as a parent or sibling’s account) as this will result in your personal information being mixed together instead of you getting your own unique account. If you already have an MTSU Student ID Number, please DO NOT use your MTSU Student ID Number or Social Security Number as your Login ID.
  • Next, you can choose a PIN, which can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters and must be at least six characters in length.
  • Then, verify your PIN, by typing it in again.
  • Make a note of your Login ID and PIN as this cannot be retrieved for you because it is encrypted. After you complete the application, your Login ID and PIN will allow you to review your application and admission decision online by logging in below.
  • The "Login" button will bring you into the MTSU online admission application.

Are you applying to earn a master’s or a doctoral degree as a graduate student? Please do so with our Graduate Application.
