Why Texas Tech ?

From here, it's possible.

Texas Tech University prides itself on being a major, comprehensive research university that retains the sense of a smaller, liberal arts institution. Although enrollment is over 40,000, Texas Tech boasts one-on-one interaction with top faculty and an environment that stresses student accomplishment above all else. We're large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics, but small enough to focus on you. Texas Tech is committed to enhancing the cultural and economic development of the state, nation, and world. Read the Texas Tech mission statement.

Texas Tech students come from every county in Texas, all 50 states, and more than 90 foreign countries. Tech offers 150 undergraduate degree programs through 11 academic colleges, a graduate school, and a school of law. We offer more than 100 master's degree programs and over 50 doctoral degree programs. Learn more Texas Tech facts.
