How to Find Faculty and Staff at the TCU College of Education
Updated
The TCU College of Education lists a Faculty & Staff Directory as a main section of its website (coe.tcu.edu), so the directory is the intended starting point for looking up a specific instructor or staff member. Use it when you already know the person's name or program area; if you need a general department contact or aren't sure who to reach, contact the college directly instead.
Start With the Directory
The college's homepage navigation includes Faculty & Staff Directory alongside Majors & Programs, Connected Community, and Why Study Education. That placement means you can reach it from the main menu without hunting through subpages.
How to look up a specific person
- Open coe.tcu.edu.
- Select Faculty & Staff Directory from the main navigation.
- Search or browse for the person by name or program area.
- Use the contact details shown on their directory entry to reach them.
Expected result: a listing for the individual with their role and contact information. The site does not publish a separate search syntax or filter set beyond the directory itself, so rely on the name and program information you already have.
When the Directory Isn't Enough
If you can't find the person — for example, a new hire, an adjunct, or someone whose listing hasn't been updated — or if you need help routing a question to the right office, contact the College of Education directly. The homepage also offers a Request More Information option for prospective students and general inquiries, which is a reasonable fallback when you don't have a named contact.
What the College Covers
Knowing the college's program areas helps you guess which faculty member or office to look for:
| Area | What the college highlights |
|---|---|
| Laboratory schools | Two nationally recognized lab schools for children with special needs |
| Early childhood | Internationally recognized early childhood teacher education program |
| Middle/secondary | Nationally recognized middle/secondary program |
| Graduate study | 12 nationally ranked graduate programs |
| New programs | A professional aviation degree program housed in the College of Education |
The college also reports 100% teacher placement and that 80% of graduates teach locally — useful context if you're contacting faculty about field placements or career paths.
Practical Tips
- Search by program, not just name. If you know the program (early childhood, middle/secondary, special education), browse that area's faculty listings first.
- Check the news and events pages for program launches and public events; they often name the faculty or dean involved, which can confirm who to contact. The dean is Frank Hernandez, whose welcome message appears on the site.
- Use the directory for academic questions (courses, programs, advising) and the general contact or Request More Information route for admissions-style inquiries.
