Texas Christian University

Our mission is “To educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community.”

Our Vision is “To be a world-class, values-centered university.”

We’re seeking students who aspire to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community. So when you submit your application, we won’t see it as just a collection of grades, a class ranking, and test scores. Instead, our case-by-case acceptance process allows us to view you as a whole person with the potential to enrich our campus community and go on to change the world.

TCU is committed to enrolling talented, motivated students from diverse backgrounds. The University offers a full range of scholarships, financial aid, and financing options to families of all income levels. When you come to TCU, you’ll stand shoulder-to- shoulder with classmates, cheering the Frogs to victory. A front-and-center student section in the middle of Big 12 Conference action means friends celebrate together in our winning heritage. From football to sand volleyball, baseball to tennis, and basketball to track and field, you’ll revel in our latest successes, and master “Riff Ram Bah Zoo,” one of the oldest collegiate cheers in the nation.

TCU is your ticket to the world. Start in our hometown—Fort Worth, the 16th largest city in the nation and growing.

It’s consistently chosen as one of “America’s Most Livable Communities” thanks to a world-class cultural arts district, miles of cycling and jogging trails, and tons of dining and concert venues. From here, your TCU education takes you anywhere. Expand your horizons with study abroad in more than 54 countries, service-learning trips stateside or overseas, and internships around the globe.

At TCU, you’ll grow intellectually and personally, and you’ll also gain specific knowledge and skills for a career.

You’ll learn by doing, stepping outside the classroom to turn your ideas into action. With opportunities for internships, part-time jobs, and industry connections through our massive alumni base, you’ll leave TCU prepared and marketable for whatever comes next in life—giving you that much more of an advantage in the real world.
