The TTU Student Population

TTU’s current enrollment is approximately 29,000 students. Approximately 78% of the student body is anglo and 22% are from ethnically diverse populations. Hispanic (10.3%) and African-American (3%) comprise the largest ethnic populations on campus. Approximately 4% of the student body is of foreign residency, and approximately 88% are Texas residents. Recent SCC statistics show that minority students are receiving SCC services at slightly higher rates than the campus minority population statistics.

Reflective of the national trend, the Student Counseling Center has experienced an increase in the severity of concerns in students seeking services. Clients are assigned to interns in such a way that allows exposure to a wide variety of diagnoses, degrees of severity, and demographic diversity. The age composition of our service population covers the life span beginning with late teens; however, our clientele is mostly traditional college-age students.

The SCC subscribes to a brief therapy model of services; currently students are limited to 8 sessions per academic year. For training purposes and to encourage student utilization, group therapy services are not currently subject to the 8 session limit.
