我们的教师
You’ll learn in our welcoming academic community from renowned teacher-scholars with expertise in a range of backgrounds and faith traditions — from ethics to art, from Christianity to Hinduism.
What Sets Us Apart
While religion majors pursue many different vocations, TCU's Church Vocational Grant awards significant financial assistance (up to half-off tuition)—regardless of denomination—to students preparing for careers as ordained clergy, church musicians, directors of religious education, or pursuing other forms of full-time religious leadership positions.
All TCU undergrads take at least one religion course during their academic journey—as 探索. Our department offers courses delving into the origins and impacts of many faiths, and we encourage you to discover more about whatever facet of religion that captures your interest.
