We asked current students
"Why Davis College?"
Small Class-Sizes
- 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio
- No stadium-seating lecture halls
- Personalized instruction and advising
When you ask a Davis College student why they stay at Davis College, the most common answer is the sense of community. One of the ways we help students stay connected with each other and our faculty is by small class sizes. We know that in a smaller class, you get to know your peers and feel more comfortable asking a professor for help when you need it. No stadium seating here! We want all Davis College students to feel connected.
Davis College Learning Community
- Higher GPA
- Higher graduation rate
- Make lasting friendships
At Tech, students with fewer than 30 hours of academic credit are required to live in student housing. So, we thought we could do better. We created the Davis College Learning Community to mirror the connections students like you build in our program. All of our alum have stories about how the friends they made at Davis College opened future career doors, became industry peers, and became life-long friends. Connect with your future friends.
The Largest Scholarship Program at Texas Tech
- $4.4 Million in scholarships awarded during the last school year
- Freshmen Merit Scholarships are offered to all qualifying, admitted freshmen
- Non-residents awarded Presidential Scholarships or Davis College Dean's Scholarships qualify for in-state tuition
The cost of college is only increasing. Davis College is committed to making quality instruction and education affordable for ag students. You are the future of our industry, and your education will shape that future. With the largest scholarship program at Texas Tech and one of the largest in the state of Texas, you really do belong here.
Hands-On Learning
- 60/40 real-world experience-to-lecture ratio in most degree programs
- Opportunities to earn USDA certifications while getting paid
- Competitive teams, journalistic publications, research, and study abroad
This is an ag college. And we know that you can't get all you need in a lecture hall. We are proud that a majority of our programs are 60% hands-on learning or outside the classroom and 40% in the classroom. We offer real-world student employment opportunities, like Raider Red Meats. We have 14 competitive teams, including judging teams. And if you're looking to work in communications, every year, our Agricultural Communication program puts together one of our flagship publications—the Agriculturist. At Davis College, there's a hands-on place for you to get involved and gain experience!
