Texas Southern University Revenue and Competitors

The University is organized into seven schools, each with subspecialties and degree-granting programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. Located near the heart of downtown Houston, with a sprawling 45-building campus situated on 150 acres of land, Texas Southern University is unique in its contribution to higher education. TSU is one of two comprehensive Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) in the world and one of only two, four-year colleges in Texas with an open enrollment policy, accepting all eligible students with a high school diploma or GED equivalent. TSU is the only university in the state that offers health profession programs in the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and, as a "special purpose institution for urban programming," the University measures its success by the impact its graduates have on society. Texas Southern University has served as a cornerstone for developing the greatest potential in leaders from various socioeconomic, cultural, and racial backgrounds. More than 9,000 students, faculty, and staff comprise the University's community, and like its curricula, the student body is characterized by diversity. While many of the undergraduate and graduate students enrolled are native Texans, the student and faculty population is represented by almost every state in America, including the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, and by more than 50 nations. Texas Southern's international student population hails from such places as Africa, Canada, Canal Zone, the Caribbean, Central America, China, Europe, Mexico, South Asia, and the West Indies.
