From 2016 to 2025, 358 Texas Christian University graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in psychology, humanities and arts, and education.
Research doctorates (PhD, EdD and similar) only: medical, law and business degrees aren't counted. The rate divides those doctorates by the bachelor's degrees Texas Christian University awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.

Work in Texas: of graduates working and not in school a year after graduating, the share whose job is in Texas. A dash means the College Scorecard doesn't report the figure for that major, or counted fewer than 30 graduates.
