The homepage of the Tarleton State University website, www.tarleton.edu, is managed by the Web Operations Team. It features a slideshow, upcoming calendar events, highlights, university facts and statistics, testimonials, drop-down menus, and panels. This content primarily targets prospective students, as the main purpose of the university homepage is recruitment and external marketing.

The slideshow section promotes the university’s accomplishments and campaigns. It may feature individual messages or coordinated campaigns to represent the university.
