Texas College (TC)

2800 S University Dr, Fort Worth, TX

Texas College is a nonprofit private historically black institution located in Tyler, Texas. Most historically black colleges and universities (also known as HBCUs) were founded after the civil war to provide newly freed African Americans with educational opportunities. The Christian Methodist Episcopal affiliation at the school is an important part of the history, education and mission that defines the school. The lower student/teacher ratio and access to faculty and teachers are due primarily to the smaller enrollment, around 930 students, maintained by Texas College.

Students may select from a few areas of study, including:

• Business Administration
• General Studies
• Health and Physical Education, Fitness
• Education
• Political Science
• Law and Justice Administration

The school has an open enrollment policy, admitting any applicants that meet the basic requirements for admission. Submission of transcripts, records, test scores, and personal statements may be requested for certain programs. More information on admissions can be found here.

The cost of tuition is close to $11,000 for the year. Tuition prices may change for any number of reasons, and as such students should use the school's tuition calculator to understand their personalized cost estimate of attendance. Financial aid may be offered to students that meet the required requirements in the form of loans, grants, scholarships and work study programs.
