toc =Thurgood Marshall College History=

Thurgood Marshall College affords students the advantages of attending a small liberal arts college within a world-class research university. Distinguished faculty and an excellent student body contribute to UCSD's rise to national prominence within its short history.

TMC was founded in 1970 as Third College with a philosophical commitment to the development of the scholar and citizen. In July of 1993, the college adopted its new name in honor of the historic Supreme Court Jurist, Thurgood Marshall. Justice Thurgood Marshall was widely known for his profound contributions to American life, and dedication to breaking down barriers to universal education.

What Distinguishes TMC?
 * Our motto: "The student as scholar and citizen", social responsibility and academic excellence go hand in hand.
 * The spirit of community, as captured in TMC's logo of three joined hands.
