College of Health & Human Sciences
As one of the four original colleges at Texas Tech University at its founding, the
College of Health & Human Sciences has a rich history investing in students, preparing
them to make an impact on the world around them. The College of Health & Human Sciences
provides multidisciplinary education, research, and service focused on individuals,
families, and their environments to improve and enhance the human condition. When
they graduate, our students are making an impact as educators, health care professionals,
financial planners, hospitality managers, fashion merchandisers, designers, counselors,
and nutritionists. Faculty, staff, and students advance research concerning individual,
social, and economic development in a multidisciplinary environment to benefit families
and individuals in a diverse global community. Outreach is also provided to individuals,
organizations, and communities to help improve the society in which we live.
