TCU's nursing program is highly competitive for a reason!
We look for the best and brightest students to admit to our consistently top-ranked nursing program. At TCU, students apply for direct entry into nursing and experience hands-on learning, meaningful mentorship, state-of-the-art facilities and exemplary clinical experiences. Our Health Professions Learning Center, or HPLC, offers a functional hospital environment for students to prepare for real-world settings. And students participate in clinical opportunities with local hospitals and clinics, in study abroad programs, externships and patient-care technician job opportunities. We limit admission into the program to reserve enough spots in our simulation labs and clinical sites, ensuring excellent preparation for the nursing field.
