History
Texas Southern University is a four-year, state-supported, coeducational liberal arts university founded in 1947 to serve the black population of Texas. Established as Texas State University, the name was changed to its current name in 1951. In 1973, partially as a result of its metropolitan location, TSU was redesignated as a “special purpose” institution of higher education for an urban population. Such special programs include projects through the Mickey Leland Center, established in 1989 as a national resource center to study contemporary issues that have an impact on world hunger and peace. The program continues the work of the late Congressman George “Mickey” Leland.
Although the University maintains a selective admissions policy for its graduate and professional programs, TSU maintains an open admissions policy for undergraduates in an effort to attract the diverse ethnic population of its inner-city location. As a comprehensive university, TSU offers academic programs in the arts and sciences, business, education, pharmacy, technology, and law. It also provides social services for the campus and the community at large.
TSU is situated on 130 acres with twenty-seven buildings. Facilities include the Terry Library, the Nabrit Science Center, the King Humanities Center, and the Thurgood Marshall Law Library. Contemporary facilities are constructed of Texas Cordova shell stone.
