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.
