The Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences is one of the academic colleges of Texas Christian University, a private university founded in 1873. The college's roots trace to the TCU nursing program established in the 1960s, and it was named in honor of the Harris family following a major gift from the Harris Methodist healthcare legacy. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs in nursing, kinesiology, communication sciences and disorders, nutritional sciences, social work, and psychology-related health fields, and is best known for its BSN program and its strong clinical partnerships across the Dallas-Fort Worth healthcare system.
Students experience small class sizes, high-fidelity simulation labs, and early clinical placements at major regional hospitals, all within TCU's close-knit, spirited campus culture. The college emphasizes interprofessional education, preparing students to work in collaborative care teams, and offers distinctive strengths in nurse anesthesia (DNP), kinesiology, and speech-language pathology. Students benefit from TCU's Horned Frogs community, Division I athletics, and a values-driven, service-oriented ethos.
