Texas Tech Makes Progress on Tier One Status

Texas Tech University is well on its way to becoming the state’s next National Research University.

Achieving National Research University, or Tier One, status will have a transformative effect on Texas Tech. It will put Texas Tech into an elite category of universities, providing our students with unmatched educational opportunities. It also will expand the scope of Texas Tech’s research to meet the world’s needs and give a significant boost to the local, regional and state economies.

The National Research University designation is only a first step in the strategic planning of the university. The ultimate goal is to become one of the nation’s truly great public research institutions, a university that conducts research that changes lives, that educates students who are globally competitive, and that drives the formation of new businesses.
