Public Accountability
As we seek to become one of only 120 programs in the world to hold disciplinary accreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications, the College of Media & Communication is required to publish information on student success as measured by retention and graduation rates. Texas Tech University tracks and reports student progression through one-, two-, and three-year retention rates by College, as well as four- and six-year graduation rates. Data here are sourced from the University’s publicly available factbook and updated annually (https://techdata.irs.ttu.edu/factbook/).
