*Eastern Tennessee Normal School, Johnson City ([[Eastern Tennessee State University]]);
*West Tennessee State Normal School, Memphis ([[University of Memphis]]);
*Middle Tennessee Normal School;
*Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School, Nashville ([[Tennessee State University]])
Originaly known for having taught the fields of education and nursing, Middle Tennessee Normal School expanded its curriculum over the years; by 1943 it had become a state college. Additional subjects plus an expansion of the campus gained it university status by 1965. Currently, MTSU is second to the [[University of Tennessee]] in size of student population; however it is the largest university in the state in the actual number of undergraduate students.
