Texas Southern University (TSU) has been named a 2024-2025 College of Distinction, a prestigious honor that underscores its commitment to providing an exceptional undergraduate education. The recognition highlights the university’s dedication to hands-on learning, strong student-faculty relationships, an active campus community, and outstanding student outcomes.

The Colleges of Distinction organization has recognized schools since 2000 for their success in implementing high-impact educational practices. Unlike traditional ranking systems that rely on numerical data, the organization’s rigorous selection process involves extensive research and interviews to identify institutions that excel in four key areas: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes. TSU has demonstrated excellence in these categories, ensuring a supportive and enriching environment for students preparing for academic and career success.

The university’s faculty and staff are dedicated to fostering student success through innovative academic programs, experiential learning opportunities, and a dynamic campus experience. By emphasizing meaningful student-faculty collaboration, TSU ensures that students gain relevant, real-world skills that extend beyond the classroom.

In earning this recognition, TSU joins an esteemed group of Texas institutions that have also been named Colleges of Distinction, including Rice University, Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, and the University of Texas at Austin.
