OUR GROWTH
A SMALL START, A BIG FUTURE
Tarleton State University’s presence in Fort Worth has come a long way since 1978. What began with eight students enrolled in Dr. Lamar Johanson’s medical laboratory science program has since grown to nearly 2,700 students studying over 60 academic programs, with more on the way.
Through strong partnerships with area community colleges, school districts, healthcare providers, and businesses, Tarleton State Fort Worth is making high-quality, career-oriented education more accessible, affordable, and flexible for students across North Texas. We are proud to carry forward the best of our legacy while forging an identity that’s distinctly Fort Worth.
Tarleton State Fort Worth Central Administration Building opened in 2019, honoring presence and partnership with southwest Fort Worth.
“Tarleton State is pivotal
in addressing Fort Worth’s
education needs by
ensuring we have the skilled
professionals to meet the
workforce demands of the
11th largest city in the nation.
This investment will not only
transform the lives of students
but will have a lasting, positive
impact on our community for
generations to come.”
Mattie Parker Mayor, City of Fort Worth
