Enrichment the focus of program

TCU has long-standing ties with the Fort Worth community, and the Extended Education program is another example of the good relations.

As the program improves and grows, so does the relationship between the TCU campus and its surroundings.

But the program does more than teach people how to ballroom dance or produce perfect calligraphy.

For some students, being in an English class is a matter between understanding the language, or not.

The best thing about the program is that TCU is not required to offer such a program.

It chooses to.

We support the efforts the Office of Extended Education. Its courses enhance people’s lives and give them something to look forward to — learning.

Also, these classes allow us to efficiently use what we have by offering to community members the use of our instructors and facilities.

Traditional students too can enrich themselves in courses that aren’t available in their degree plans, for discounted rates.

Good relations with the community is a rewarding component to any college, as the Princeton Review’s official list for the Best 351 Colleges routinely ranks schools on “town-gown relations.”

At TCU, we are in the business of producing life-long learners. By branching out in the community with Extended Education courses, we are staying true to our goal.
