Our attractive 302-acre campus is nestled in a tree-lined neighborhood and is home to about half of our 10,000+ undergraduates. Even first-time visitors to our inviting, walkable campus remark how TCU “feels like home.” Using thoughtful master planning going back decades, TCU has invested more than $1 billion in new and renovated facilities over the past 20 years. Historic buildings that have stood for more than a century have been carefully updated for the next generation.
Our campus is more than a pretty place—it’s a functioning ecosystem. We currently operate 23 environmentally progressive LEED Gold buildings, with more underway, and a centralized Energy Management Control System. Our sustainability practices also include campus-wide recycling, a water-saving evapotranspiration irrigation system and an on-campus greenhouse. Designated as a “Tree Campus USA” school, our former “prairie college” is now home to over 3,200 trees.
You will never be bored here! TCU is known for its connection and community. There is always something fun and enlightening happening on our campus: concerts, Big12 sporting events, celebrations, lectures, art and speaker events, and more. As a TCU employee, you will have endless opportunities to connect with other faculty and staff on campus or to even relish in these events and traditions with your family.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are a key part of TCU’s core values. Fulfilling TCU’s mission to develop ethical leaders and critical thinkers in a global community depends on the university’s ability to attract and retain students, faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds that thrive in our community. A diverse and inclusive campus leads to innovation, broadened perspectives and understanding – values that are foundational aspects of higher education.
