TCU and Schieffer School deliver a world-class university experience, consistently ranking in the top 5 percent of the 3,500 universities and colleges in the nation.  Named for CBS Senior Correspondent Bob Schieffer, the Schieffer School is undergoing a $5.6 million renovation that emphasizes converged media for both strategic communication and journalism.  The state-of-the-art facility will entertain students for the first time in the fall of 2009 and be totally finished the following semester.  The Schieffer School's ad campaign team placed in the national finals of the American Advertising Federation for three consecutive years.

In recent years, TCU has invested $200 million in top-of-the-line facilities.  It annually exceeds enrollment goals, and the endowment is among the top 60 among colleges and universities in the United States.  With a 14:1 student/faculty ration and a teacher-scholar model that results in close, mentoring relationships, the university also offers many of the advantages of smaller liberal arts colleges.  Consequently, a TCU education is not just the sum of semester hours, but an entire experience that grows from its mission: "to educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community."  The 375 undergraduate students in the Strategic Communication Division are prepared for career paths in advertising, public relations, and marketing communications.  Because TCU is located in the fifth-largest media market in the nation, students and faculty benefit from a strong collaboration with local industry professional.  For further information on TCU see http//www.tcu.edu/ and for further information on the Schieffer School see http://www.schiefferschool.tcu.edu/
