德州基督教大学，《美国新闻与世界报道》把它评为国家级大学，学术声誉全美排第76名，两本权威年鉴都选它为“三百大”之一，并给予三颗星学术评分。
德克萨斯基督教大学共设五所本科学院和两所研究院，提供的课程，计有文、理、商、教育、护理、美术及大众传播，据《耶鲁大学日报大学指南》指出，商科是最多学生选读、同时也是最佳的学系，由学生自己策划和投资一项基金，更是全美无出其右，其他办得不错的学系还有地质学、美术及大众传播、舞蹈、自然科学、健康科学、医科和牙科预科课程等。
德州基督教大学是全美第一所提供芭蕾舞学士课程的大学；大众传播学系的学生，更亲自制作大学拥有的电视台和电台的各顶节目，此外、医科牙科预科班的同学，考入医学院和牙科学院的比率更高达94%，商科学生也可以入读五年商科再加工商管理硕士的紧凑课程。
德州基督教大学像赖斯或德州奥斯汀大学一样，驾欧陆名厂跑车上学的同学，大有人在，正如《耶鲁大学日报大学指南》所形容，学生大都来自中上富裕家庭，四分之三来自德州本土，黑人和中南美学生只占7%左右，换言之，这是一所执缔子弟多的白人大学。可喜的是校风颇为保守，宿舍更是“单性”，这都是家长所乐闻的。
大学共提供3233个宿位给各年级学生，德克萨斯基督教大学只有一半学生住宿，海外生获得保证四年都有宿位。
录取率方面，《美国新闻与世界报道》公布的本科录取率为46% （2015年）。
