Graduate Programs
The College of Education at Texas Tech University offers a wide variety of master's, doctoral and certificate programs that cover the spectrum of educational disciplines. When Dean Jesse Perez-Mendez joined the College in late 2019, he felt that the size and diversity of graduate programs called for a reorganization of the College's structure. A lengthy reorganization process was undertaken that involved all College stakeholders that has resulted in three distinctive graduate departments, each with its own mission, vision, leadership, and unique culture.
