Understanding what it means to be educated

It's important to know that your TCU degree is rooted in a foundation of liberal arts and sciences. These wide-ranging subjects will teach you how to read critically, think analytically and communicate effectively. A broad understanding of history, society, literature, economics, languages and culture will help you be comfortable in any conversation. These subjects teach you critical inquiry, a skill that comes in handy when the answers you need can't be found in a book.

TCU Core Curriculum

Every degree includes the University Core Curriculum, a group of classes in three areas: Heritage, Mission, Vision & Values; Human Experiences and Endeavors; and Essential Competencies.
