What Is the TCU College of Education Website?

Updated

The TCU College of Education website (coe.tcu.edu) is the official online home of Texas Christian University's College of Education. It serves as the entry point for prospective and current students to explore undergraduate and graduate degree programs, learn about the college's laboratory schools, and connect with faculty and staff. Use it if you are researching education programs at TCU, considering an application, or looking for the college's faculty directory and news.

What the College Offers

The College of Education describes its mission as preparing "exemplary leaders for diverse educational settings." Its stated strengths include:

  • Two laboratory schools for children with special needs, described as nationally recognized
  • An internationally recognized early childhood teacher education program
  • A nationally recognized middle/secondary program
  • 12 nationally ranked graduate programs

The site also highlights outcome figures: 100% teacher placement and 80% of graduates teaching locally. These are the college's own published claims, so treat them as marketing statements rather than independently verified statistics.

Degree Programs

The Majors & Programs section organizes offerings into two paths:

Path What to expect
Undergraduate Initial teacher preparation and education-related majors
Graduate Master's and other advanced programs, including the 12 nationally ranked programs cited on the homepage

You can browse all options or search within the program listings, and the site provides a "Request More Information" route for prospective students who want details before applying.

Beyond the Classroom

The homepage emphasizes a "connected community" and "preparing global leaders," with Dean Frank Hernandez describing a focus on strong local and global partnerships. Practical resources linked from the main page include:

  • Faculty & Staff Directory — for contacting specific people
  • News and Events — for college announcements; recent coverage includes the launch of a new professional aviation degree program housed in the College of Education
  • Dean's Welcome — for the college's stated priorities and direction

How to Use the Site

  1. Start with Majors & Programs if you are deciding what to study; filter by undergraduate or graduate.
  2. Submit a Request More Information form if you want admissions details sent to you.
  3. Check the Faculty & Staff Directory when you need to reach a specific department or advisor.
  4. Read the News section for program launches and events, such as the aviation program celebration.

One caveat: the homepage does not publish tuition, application deadlines, or admission requirements. For those specifics, follow the links into the individual program pages or contact the college directly rather than assuming costs or timelines from the overview page.
