Trinity River Campus
For Immediate Release:
Welcome from the President
On behalf of the students, staff, faculty, and administrators at Trinity River Campus, welcome! We invite you to 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.
Dr Fulkerson with students in front of the Trinity River Campus HallmarksWhatever your educational goals, the Trinity River Campus will support you. This fall our 8000+ 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, Radiologic Technology, Surgical Technology, and Long Term Care Administration – have new homes at the Trinity River Campus East 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.
Success in college often depends on more than courses and professional programs. Research shows that students’ connections with other students, with clubs, and with faculty and staff increase their chance for successful completion. That is why Student Development Services deliberately plans events to 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 Senior Education weight training to 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. Graduates of our new program to train ophthalmic assistants have found employment, and we are currently training medical assistants through a corporate workforce agreement.
Like our sister campuses at Tarrant County College, Trinity River Campus is dedicated to helping all students in our county – and 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. New to the Trinity River Campus support team for student success are fourteen trained peer advisors, students dedicated to helping others succeed.
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.

About the Company:
Tarrant County College was established by a countywide election on July 31, 1965, as Tarrant County Junior College, the name change coming in 1999. The South Campus opened in 1967, followed by Northeast (1968), Northwest (1976), Southeast (1996) and Trinity River Campus (2009). The Trinity River Campus East for Health Care Professions opened in downtown Fort Worth, just blocks away from the Trinity River Campus, in the fall of 2011. The College District is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees elected for staggered six-year terms in single member districts.
Enrollment growth has been steady throughout recent years. The South Campus, at 4,772, had the largest opening-day enrollment of any community college in the nation up to that time. Overall credit student enrollment passed the 20,000 mark in 1980 and exceeded 50,000 in the fall of 2011. As of 2012, TCC is the sixth-largest college or university in Texas.
