Welcome to Texas Tech!

This is truly an exciting time to be at Texas Tech University. As you look around our campus, whether in person or online, you’ll see what makes Texas Tech an amazing place.

From the opening this summer of our new student leisure pool to having the New York Times recently call our financial planning program “arguably the best undergraduate financial planning program in the country,” Texas Tech is a combination of exceptional academics and superb student life.

Our student body is diverse, coming to us from every county in Texas, all 50 states and more than 100 nations around the globe.  With 150 undergraduate majors, 100 master’s degrees and 50 doctoral programs, our academic programs are as diverse as our students. Our academic excellence is reflected in the fact that Texas Tech shelters a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the world’s best-known honor society.

The men and women who teach our classes are known around the world for their research, artistic endeavors and scholarship. The research these men and women do not only creates new knowledge, it makes Texas Tech part of the solution to the challenges facing Texas and our country.

At Texas Tech, research is not just for faculty and graduate students. We have a long history of involving undergraduates in research, and not just by cleaning up the lab. Our students work hand-in-hand with our faculty and often co-author academic papers and present at major conferences.

I could go on forever but I’ll let you explore our Web site and see for yourself what makes Texas Tech a truly special place.

The possibilities at Texas Tech are endless. I invite you to watch us as we expand and grow our university, meeting the challenges and providing solutions for our world’s problems.

Guy Bailey, President
