Tarleton State University Fort Worth

Tarleton State University – Fort Worth, an off-campus instructional site of Tarleton State University, has operated programs serving the needs of Tarrant, Johnson and Parker Counties for over 40 years. Initial programs started in 1978 in the area of Medical Laboratory Sciences, providing critically needed health care professionals for the rapidly growing Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Those programs were followed by cooperative programs with the Fort Worth ISD to offer alternative teacher certification programs to meet the growing demands for teachers in 2000. Since that time, Tarleton has expanded program offerings at this location to include a variety of programs from the Dr. Sam Pack College of Business, College of Education, College of Health Sciences, College of Liberal and Fine Arts, College of Science and Mathematics, and Mayfield College of Engineering. Programs include doctoral and master’s level programs/course work, and freshman to senior level courses for a baccalaureate degree. Our baccalaureate degree programs are designed to build upon associate programs offered by Tarrant County Community College District, Weatherford College, Hill College, and among others, as well as for first year in college students. 

Students enrolling at Tarleton State University– Fort Worth may choose courses and entire programs offered via a variety of delivery modes including face-to-face, blended/hybrid, online, or in a cohort model.
