Texas Christian University (TCU) is a private research university[2] in Fort Worth, Texas. It was established in 1873 by brothers Addison and Randolph Clark as the AddRan Male & Female College.[8] It is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).[9]

The campus is located on 302 acres (122 ha) about 10 miles (5 km) from downtown Fort Worth. The university consists of nine constituent colleges and schools. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[2] According to the National Science Foundation, the university received approximately $19 million in research and development funding in 2022, ranking it 298th in the nation for research revenue and expenditures.[10]

TCU's mascot is Superfrog, based on the Texas state reptile: the horned frog. For most varsity sports, TCU competes in the Big 12 conference of the NCAA's Division I. As of fall 2023, the university enrolled around 12,785 students, with 10,915 being undergraduates.[5]
