A Quick Tour

By Timothy Howard, Digital Media Coordinator

Texas Tech University eLearning & Academic Partnerships exists to provide a Texas Tech education to students no matter where they live or what stage of life they are in. The TTU regional teaching sites are a large component of that mission. With seven unique locations, the TTU regional sites are bringing a wide array of degree and certification programs directly to communities located across the state. Students can take in-person classes from distinguished TTU faculty without having to leave the communities that they live in. Here is a quick tour of the TTU regional sites.

Texas Tech University at Waco

Texas Tech University at Waco resides on the scenic McLennan Community College (MCC) campus in Waco. Though a partnership with MCC, students can complete their core curriculum requirements through the community college and their upper level requirements through TTU without having to leave Waco. Just a few of the programs offered include biology, political science and communications. With a growing student body and plenty of events around campus for students to participate in, TTU at Waco gives students the Texas Tech experience without having to be in Lubbock.
