The Trinity River Campus is thrilled to have you as a student and a Trailblazer! Tarrant County College is a vibrant teaching and learning community, and it's a fantastic place for you to pursue a career, grow and learn.

At the Trinity River Campus, we invite you to explore all that our beautiful, centrally located campus has to offer. Situated in historic downtown Fort Worth, the campus is a bustling learner-centered environment—the perfect place for students to achieve their academic and career goals. Moreover, it's a place where we live our College's five core values: Commitment to Excellence, Connection for Belonging, Opportunity in Engagement, Transformation with Innovation, and Trust through Integrity.

As you navigate your college journey, take advantage of the opportunity to get to know not only your assigned campus but all six campuses. Our college is filled with talented and dedicated individuals – like YOU!  Moreover, as you learn more about the College, I encourage you to research the array of programs offered at TCC Trinity River and our sister campuses across the Tarrant County College District. At Trinity River Campus, we offer signature educational and career paths in areas like healthcare, sign language, and STEM disciplines. Our newest program, Geographic Information Systems, is a valuable asset for students interested in various industries.

From the moment you step onto our campus, you'll notice something truly special about its environment. The College has invested in a positive learning space that accommodates a community of learners and maintains a culture of care to support our students and each other. In fact, as you engage on campus, you will see why so many of our students are #TCCProud when they talk about the commitment our faculty and staff show in prioritizing your student success. Accordingly, we provide a range of services and support, including a Learning Commons, an Office of Student Success and Advising, and dynamic student life programming to help you reach your goals and graduate. So, I encourage you to take advantage of everything TCC Trinity River has to offer.

Tarrant County College is also proud of its strong community partnerships, and TCC Trinity River is home to many of them. The Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences (TABS) is a partnership with Fort Worth ISD, University of North Texas, and TCC Trinity River Campus, offering students the opportunity to earn an associate degree or up to two years of transferable college credit.

Our College's impact is felt worldwide through the accomplishments of our alumni who lead in business, industry, education, and government. We are committed to equipping you, as a student and Trailblazer, with the tools needed to become global citizens and civic-minded leaders.

Again, welcome to TCC. I believe you're in for an amazing student experience.

Regards, 
S. Sean Madison, Ed.D.
