Job Description

The Regional Admissions Counselor supports Tarleton State University’s undergraduate enrollment goals by engaging with prospective students and introducing them to the academic opportunities and student experience available across campus locations. This position plays an important role in expanding awareness and guiding students through the enrollment journey.

University Recruitment at Tarleton State University is a collaborative, student-centered team committed to increasing enrollment through a unified and strategic outreach approach. While individual roles specialize in undergraduate or graduate recruitment, all team members are expected to maintain a broad understanding of both areas. All positions are encouraged to support informed, student-first conversations that reflect the full range of academic opportunities at Tarleton State. All staff support both on-campus and virtual recruitment initiatives across the university’s multiple campuses, including Stephenville, Fort Worth, Waco, Texas A&M-RELLIS, and Online.

This is a remote position based in Houston. The Regional Admissions Counselor must reside in the region and be able to travel locally for recruitment events and occasionally to other locations across the state, including Tarleton State’s multiple campus locations. General working hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or as business needs indicate. This position requires a flexible work schedule with regular evening and weekend hours, especially during peak recruitment periods.
