Cost Estimate
As you consider schools, also consider the quality of the investment you’re making. If you choose the right college, the return in personal fulfillment and professional achievement can be great.
TCU’s tuition is several thousand dollars lower than most institutions of comparable quality and selectivity, and the value of a TCU education is growing. New and renovated facilities house cutting-edge academic programs and exciting ways to get involved.
Amid these changes, the hallmarks of a TCU education remain: the strengths and choices of a major university, the personal attention of a small college, opportunities for leadership and real-world experience.
