Graduate Applications are due January 15th

Initiating the application procedure requires potential students to establish an account and finalize the online application via Texas Tech University's Graduate School. They must also fulfill the university's stipulations, encompassing the submission of transcripts from all prior undergraduate (and graduate, if relevant) studies and GRE results.

Graduate School Application

Kindly ensure you select the link corresponding to the semester you wish to commence your studies, in order to initiate your application. Should you experience any challenges during any phase of the online application, feel free to reach out to the Graduate Admissions department at graduate.admissions@ttu.edu. Alternatively, you can contact Sally Shelton, the academic advisor for Heritage and Museum Sciences.

Applicants will be considered for admission to the Heritage and Museum Sciences Program after the following program required materials are submitted to the online application:

(1) two letters of reference from persons knowledgeable of the student's academic and professional abilities.

(2) a completed career summary (personal) statement.

Once that process is concluded, program admission and competitive scholarship or fellowship awards are based on three general categories of criteria

  • Academic Record. All academic records may be considered – 60 hours, total, major, post-baccalaureate.
  • Test Scores. Scores on the GRE should be no more than five years old. The GRE is required, but no test score will be considered the sole criterion.
  • Individual Profile. Profiles may include recommendation letters, research background, motivation, multilingual proficiency, undergraduate institution, presentations, and the completed career summary statement.
  • Other information that admission and scholarship and fellowship committees may consider is work commitment, demonstrated commitment to a particular field of work or study, and community involvement.
