Texas Christian University (TCU) is a private university on South University Drive in Fort Worth, about five miles from downtown. It was founded in 1873.
TCU emphasizes teaching. The university says 98 percent of its faculty teach undergraduates and about half of its classes have fewer than 30 students. Students can join more than 300 organizations, and TCU’s athletic teams compete in the Big 12 Conference, where the university reports winning 27 conference championships since joining in 2012.
For the business community, TCU’s Neeley School of Business and its Ralph Lowe Energy Institute are two of its best-known programs, and both have ties to Fort Worth’s finance and energy industries.
Prospective students can schedule campus visits through the admissions office, and many of the university’s athletic and arts events on campus are open to the public.
Three TCU leaders were named to D CEO’s 2027 Dallas 500: Chancellor Daniel Pullin, Neeley dean Craig Crossland and Nikki Morris, executive director of the Ralph Lowe Energy Institute. The main number is (817) 257-7000.
