UNDERGRADUATE
In the rapidly changing world of technology, information, and commerce in the twenty-first century, a Liberal Arts major offers both the knowledge of the ages and, simultaneously, the skills that transcend mere trends and fads.
Study in AddRan and get an education + a career by combining a major in the Liberal Arts with a minor in general business, education, communications, or another of TCU's fine professional programs. A combined course of study enables students to compete and to rise in the ever changing world of business.
See what some of our students and faculty advise:
"I chose TCU because of the beautiful campus and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Though I didn't know exactly what I wanted to study at first, the professors in the modern language department were very helpful in guiding me. I know that being multilingual will be a great advantage in the job market, and will provide many opportunities when I graduate. One day, I would like to be a translator or linguist for a company or a translator for the FBI."
- Kendra Cunningham, undergraduate, German major
"I think the strength of TCU's English department is the integrated approach to both literature and composition and rhetoric. This well-rounded approach is not offered at many schools. That approach, combined with TCU professors' accessibility and ability to place tenure-track professors helped me decide that TCU was the place for me."
- Kelly Cameron, graduate student, Composition/Rhetoric
"Gaining an education is not learning a technical skill. It is gaining the critical thinking skills that permit people to solve the ordinary and extraordinary problems that they encounter every day, regardless of the field in which they work. The liberal arts remind us that there is more than one answer to any question. A liberal arts degree provides the soundest educational experience for the rapidly changing society of the 21st century world.
Getting students to apply the knowledge to seemingly non-related issues often proves most difficult. Yet when they realize that individual solutions actually have greater application, then they start to acknowledge the patterns of the past. And this empowers them!"
- Gene Smith, professor, History
