Academics

The world is diverse and interconnected. To ensure success in our students’ careers and lives, we expand their world view to encompass diverse cultures, ideas, thoughts, living experiences and more.

 

TCU Core Curriculum – DEI Essential Competency

The addition of DEI Essential Competency enriches TCU’s Core Curriculum by encouraging faculty to create new courses or modify existing courses with learning objectives related to DEI. This overlay will encourage our students to learn about, encounter and explore identities and communities that are new to them, and to engage critically with the dynamics of difference and power that shape their lives.

 

Majors/Minors/Emphases

TCU offers many programs and courses that increase students’ knowledge of human diversity and emphasize broader perspectives.

 

Introduction to University Life

Introduction to University Life is a student success seminar for incoming TCU students that helps them cultivate habits of learning and academic achievement. A key component of the seminar is learning and living in diverse communities.
