Welcome from the President
On behalf of the students, staff, faculty, and administrators at Trinity River Campus, welcome! We hope you will come to our beautiful campus in the heart of downtown Fort Worth and experience both the friendliness of our campus and our commitment to student success.
Whether you need to sharpen your reading skills or want to take Spanish conversation, Trinity River Campus will support your goals. This fall, our 7,200+ students are enrolled in university transfer courses, a program in Sign Language Interpreting that leads to professional licensure, a new program in library technology, and seven programs in health care.
TCC’s Nursing program and these Allied Health programs – Respiratory Care, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiology Technology, Surgical Technology, and Long-Term Care Administration – have new homes at the Trinity River East Campus Center for Health Care Professions. Health Information Technology has also relocated to Trinity River Campus. All these programs lead to licensures and to careers in healthcare.
We offer more than courses and professional programs. Events planned by Student Development Services connect students through clubs and leadership initiatives. Service and Community Engagement, one of the busiest offices on campus, helps students find service opportunities in the community, and our growing dual credit program gives high school students both high school and university-parallel college credit. We also have dual credit for home schooled students.
Continuing Education offers courses ranging from English as a Second Language to Senior Education weight training and from QuickBooks Accounting to basics of computing. CE also offers workforce development and literacy courses, and we are especially proud to offer the GED preparation courses and testing in both English and Spanish. Our new program to train ophthalmic assistants has graduated its first students, and we are currently training medical assistants through a corporate agreement.
Like our sister campuses at Tarrant County College, Trinity River Campus is dedicated to helping students in our county – especially low income students and students of color – to achieve the American dream of higher education. Our faculty, advisors, and staff work to help students establish their goals and the pathways to achieving them.
Please join us. You’ll discover that we practice our belief that education changes lives. And our schedules are flexible. Our Weekend College provides full programming on Friday evenings, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon.
