Diversity Grades:
College Prowler Take
TCU is not known for diversity—most of the student body is Anglo-American. However, despite the lack of ethnic diversity on campus, the student body is open-minded, and students can’t recall any significant cases of racial prejudice at TCU. Many groups are working to increase diversity organizations on campus by forming special interest groups and Greek organizations. Diversity is an area that has a lot of potential at TCU. Organizations such as the student-led Inclusiveness Task Force (ITF), cultural support groups, and numerous programs offered through Intercultural Education and Services, show that TCU is taking steps in the right direction in order to make campus more diverse. While TCU strives for a more diverse campus, the student body, and faculty alike are contributing to the effort by creating more and more organizations that continue to open everyone’s eyes.

The campus is minimally diverse. Most people are from the upper class. Most people are white. It is extremely republican. Most people are considered to be somewhat racist.

I would say it is fairly diverse. The majority is definitely Caucasian, but other ethnic groups definitely have their presence. TCU has a reputation for being really rich, but it also has a lot of money to give in scholarships so it is more ethnically diverse than most people realize. Politically I would have to say it is largely moderate.

The campus is made up of primarily rich, Caucasian people. We do have people of various races and ethnicities, but they do not make up a large portion of the student body. Most people are more financially well off than the average American, but it is a private school, so that is the case the majority of the time. Politically the campus is mainly conservative, but being from the south, that is more than likely the case. There is still a population of more liberally viewed people, but it is not as prominent.

TCU is a predominately Caucasian school. But TCU is doing their best to incorporate more minorities into their school. Being a minority, it is important that a school is diverse, because everyone can learn about different backgrounds, and it is very interesting to learn where people come from—well, to me anyways. |
FactsEconomic Status
The TCU student body is generally made up of people from either upper-class backgrounds, or from upper-middle-class backgrounds—along with a good deal of scholarship students.
Gay Pride
There is a TCU chapter of eQ Alliance, which meets regularly throughout the year and sponsors some events.
Minority Clubs
The International Student Association (ISA) is a prominent club on campus, helping international students ease into American life. The Asian Student Association (ASA) is also a functioning club, as are Students for Asian-Indian Cultural Awareness (SAICA), the Organization for Latin American Students (OLAS), and the African Heritage Organization (AHO).
Most Common Religions
Christianity is obviously very prominent at TCU, but other religions are met with tolerance. There are many youth groups from various churches that have frequent meetings on campus for students.
Political Activity
There are various groups at TCU that allow students to voice their political views. The Young Democrats and Young Republicans meet regularly, as does the Peace Action Committee, which also hold protests and demonstrations throughout the year. These groups exist and function effectively, but they see relatively little participation from the bulk of the student body.
