TCC Signs Articulation Agreement with TCU

FORT WORTH, Texas (July 20, 2015) – The chancellors of Tarrant County College and Texas Christian University Monday signed an articulation agreement at TCU to facilitate the transfer of TCC graduates to TCU.
 
The two higher education institutions signed the agreement as part of TCC’s ongoing commitment to student access and success. For TCU, it is a way to increase what already is a steady pipeline of capable, successful students into the rigor of its academic environment.
 
“We are here today to establish a formal agreement that provides a clear pathway and eliminates the guess work for students as they prepare to transfer from Tarrant County College to Texas Christian University. We are most appreciative of the work invested in crafting this document,” said TCC Chancellor Erma Johnson Hadley. “It has been evident from the very beginning of this initiative that everyone wants to do what is best for our students. This formal partnership will certainly contribute to their success as they continue to pursue their educational goals.”
 
Since 2000, nearly 1,800 students from TCC have transferred to TCU. TCC offers an excellent program for students to prepare for the academic demands of TCU. In fact, many TCC transfer students are awarded academic scholarships. In the past decade, more students from TCC have transferred to TCU than from any other community college and now comprise about 25 percent of TCU’s total transfer students each semester.
 
“I am delighted to sign this agreement that strengthens an enduring relationship between TCC and TCU,” said Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. “Graduates from TCC are often leaders on the TCU campus in groups such as Transfer Mentors, which support students entering a new academic environment. We look forward to providing an easier transition in the future.”
