Located in the vibrant city of Fort Worth, Texas Christian University (TCU) is best known for seamlessly blending the spirited energy and high-profile athletics of a major Division I school with the personalized, supportive environment of a mid-sized campus. Undergraduates thrive in nationally recognized academic divisions, most notably the highly ranked Neeley School of Business, the prestigious John V. Roach Honors College, and top-tier programs in nursing and the health sciences. The student experience is defined by an active campus life, a dominant culture of "Purple Pride," and a collaborative community where the average class size is just 22 students. What truly sets TCU apart is its unique Horned Frog identity and the "Frog Family" philosophy, which translates into a tight-knit campus environment and a powerhouse alumni network eager to help graduates launch their careers.
