About TCU Research
With a commitment to curiosity and innovation, TCU fosters a research culture that encourages academic discovery, creativity and scholarship across disciplines. We aspire to grow as a leading center for research and creativity, drive new knowledge, inspire interdisciplinary connections and make a lasting impact on society.
TCU’s research and creative activities ensure that our faculty’s work has vital impact on the world around us, as well as on our student experience through tangible engagement and active participation with faculty — a defining characteristic of our learning environment.
TCU’s strategic plan, LEAD ON: Values in Action, places our faculty’s research, scholarship, and creative activities in the forefront of our goals, decisions and daily actions.
Being a leader in these areas means we will drive new knowledge, inspire interdisciplinary connections, and make a lasting impact on society. We aim to:
- Lay the groundwork to be a respected R1 university.
- Solidify our position as the premier academic partner for Fort Worth and North Texas.
- Encourage excellence in academic discovery, creativity and scholarship across all disciplines.
- Enhance our students’ academic experience and improve their readiness to enter the workforce or graduate or professional school.
- Provide an edge when competing for the top students, faculty and staff.
