Founded in 1899 as John Tarleton Agricultural College, the institution became a member of The Texas A&M University System in 1917. By a 1959 act of the Texas Legislature, Tarleton became a four-year degree granting institution, the first class graduating in 1963. Accredited as a senior college in 1966, Tarleton initiated many new programs, including graduate courses in 1970. Since Tarleton offered a broad liberal arts education within undergraduate and graduate degrees, the Texas Legislature recognized the institution as a university in 1973 when the name officially changed to Tarleton State University. On September 1, 1999 Tarleton opened their Central Texas location in Killeen, Texas, and the location currently offers undergraduate degrees in 38 areas and graduate degrees in 26 areas.
Tarleton continues to break new ground in many academic arenas, including water quality and other environmental science topics. Students come from more than 220 Texas counties, as well as 45 states and 17 foreign countries. Tarleton offers an MBA program at Fort Hood and a Clinical Laboratory Science Program in Fort Worth.
Located near the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Tarleton is a growing institution, known for its internationally recognized horse production program and innovative teacher education programs.

College Advice |
Question: What do you know about Tarleton State University?......it's a small college in Stephenville, TX. I just wanted to gather some info cos I may be transferring there. So seriously, ANY info would be helpful30 months ago
Best AnswerMy husband's BF went there for his Bachelor's and then returned to get his Masters. From what I've seen of him, it is a great school. I would caution that it is also a party school so just make sure you don't get caught up in it. My husband attended the school in Killeen that is now part of TSU. It's more secluded but in my opinion has less opportunities than the TSU campus in Stephenville. Good luck! |
Question: how is tarleton state university this school?is it easy to get job after graduate from this school? and How is it prestige??43 months ago
Best AnswerGetting a job will always be difficult; graduating from any school. That's why you have to give yourself every advantage by preparing yourself well and maintaining yourself prepared. Achieve things in the school like getting on the Dean's List. These are things, sort of speak, you can brag about on interviews. They are taken into account. Get involved in things that are related to your career. For instance, if you are in a work program select something that will be viable to your career. Example: Business; typing, or computer center. There are also things that a school will not teach you. Study information on real world success, from seminars, programs, etc. Some courses, although they don't pertain to your career, should be taken also: such as public speaking. It will help you on interviews. |
