Honors College students have the unique advantage of experiencing an intellectually
and socially vibrant environment while having access to the vast resources of a major
research university at Texas Tech. Honors College students simultaneously benefit
from being with others of the same intellectual preparation and commitment while enjoying
the advantages of a university environment actively engaged in exploring all areas
of human interest and concern.
All students who are admitted to Texas Tech and the Honors College also enroll in
a disciplinary college and pursue one or more of the 150+ available majors and concentrations,
including one major housed within the Honors College, Honors Sciences & the Humanities.
Their education is the result of the integration of all colleges at TTU, including
the Honors College, and cultivates the talents and interests of Honors College students
while meeting their changing needs as they develop academically and socially.
Honor and Integrity
The Honors College at Texas Tech University will be the focal point for delivery of
a liberal arts curriculum and provides key elements of a small college experience
for students who have access to the benefits of attending a large, research-intensive
university.
Strategic Plan
The Texas Tech University Honors College is dedicated to providing an enriched educational
experience for highly motivated, intellectually capable, and curious students.
