Faculty Expertise
Recognizing the need for strengthening analytical skills of our baccalaureates, the
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at Texas Tech University has
initiated an "Undergraduate Research Program" designed to prepare students to respond
effectively to the complex, contemporary, and multidisciplinary issues of agricultural
natural resources. To encourage research by undergraduates as an integral part of the
education process, the Program offers a sequential two-course series (6 semester hours)
in research methodology and practice. The Program provides undergraduates with formal
training in the general principles of organizing, planning, designing, and conducting research,
and in gaining experience in problem solving.
