On behalf of the entire Brite community, Welcome to Brite Divinity School. This page will provide some important information and helpful links to assist you in navigating the first few weeks at Brite.
Although Brite Divinity School and Texas Christian University are independent institutions, they celebrate their rich historical relationship and enjoy a shared heritage, affiliation, traditions, and values with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The two institutions operate under a Supporting Services Agreement that articulates the University’s contractual commitment to provide essential administrative support, operational and maintenance services. Many student services are handled by TCU offices.
