These academic colleges include Agriculture and Natural Resources, Business, Education, Graduate Studies, Health Sciences, Liberal and Fine Arts, Science and Mathematics, and The Mayfield College of Engineering.

Under the leadership and direction of Tarletonâ™s 16th President, Dr. James Hurley, who was unanimously appointed in August 2019 by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, Tarleton has become one of the countryâ™s fastest-growing comprehensive public universities. This trajectory has been made possible through the Tarleton Forward 2030: Our Future-Focused Strategic Plan .
