The Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where students can strengthen in recovery and achieve academic success. The Center encourages students to pursue academic goals that align with their own personal and professional goals.

Students at the Center choose any academic program offered through Texas Tech University.  Over the years, Center students have succeeded in a wide variety of academic programs offered at TTU, including Engineering, Sociology, Psychology, Architecture, Philosophy, Chemistry, Biology, and Music, just to name a few. 

Center students are required to take Collegiate Recovery Seminar each semester enrolled, except during summer sessions. This for-credit  one hour course is limited to Center students and it provides a safe place to process successes and difficulties as students progress through higher education. 

Seminar topics generally focus on recovery and academics.  However, Seminar is flexible to provide an opportunity for students to discuss any topics of interest or concern.  Usually, Seminar consists of no more than 10-15 students, giving all students a chance to share.
