MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — On the March edition of “Out of the Blue,” the television magazine program for Middle Tennessee State University, viewers will learn about a project involving some of our songwriting students working with local elementary school students, get a preview of the upcoming TXMD fashion show, and hear about two of our graduate degrees in education now fully online.
