About Us

Texas Christian University (TCU) offers a world-class, values-centered experience for almost 10,000 students. Fort Worth provides a significant portion of that experience, from opportunities for community service to internships to employment. With some 87,700 Horned Frog alumni in the area, the community benefits as well. For example, Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences provides vital health care services. In the area's schools, TCU's Andrews Institute of Mathematics & Science Education works with hundreds of K-12 teachers and students annually. The university is an anchor in the cultural life of North Texas, with events like the Trinity Shakespeare Festival.. Each summer, TCU welcomes 90,000 participants to campus for conferences, camps and other events, while Big 12 Horned Frog athletics attract thousands more throughout the year.
