A Message from the Dean

Welcome to the web site of the College of Science and Engineering at TCU. Whether a current or prospective student or other visitor, I hope you will find the information you need here. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.

The programs of the College of Science and Engineering are designed to provide students with knowledge and experiences necessary for successful careers and further study in science, engineering, and mathematics. We also assist in the preparation of K-12 mathematics and science teachers, and provide experiences in the sciences and mathematics for all TCU undergraduate students. All this is accomplished with dedicated faculty and exceptional students.

The faculty are committed to teaching, and are actively engaged in scholarly activity that contributes to their profession and informs their teaching on all levels. Opportunities for participation in research exist in every department and program of the college. Besides working with graduate students where programs exist, many faculty involve undergraduates in their research programs. Students who engage in such activities have learning experiences that go well beyond those available in a traditional undergraduate curriculum.

Graduate programs are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, and Psychology. The College also has several credentialed programs. The Nutritional Sciences Department offers programs of study accredited by the American Dietetic Association. The Engineering Department is ABET accredited; the Computer Science degree is also accredited by the Computing Sciences part of ABET. And the Chemistry Department offers a program leading to professional certification by the American Chemical Society.

I encourage you to browse our site to learn more about all the programs and opportunities that are part of the College of Science and Engineering.

Sincerely,

Michael D. McCracken, Dean
