Texas Tech University Reviews

"The music education program, undergraduate through graduate levels, is of excellent quality. The graduate programs are flexible enough to offer a degree tailored to the student's needs and interests and yet the standards are quite high, particularly with regard to presenting research."

"Great program, very small and more one on one time with faculty!!!"

"Texas Tech has a great law school for a very affordable price. The professors are very accessible and willing to meet with you. The city of Lubbock is isolated but there is still plenty here with a large university."

"The Pros: I work with great people - professors and students. Professors are easily accessible and willing to work with you, and they are willing to include you in their research! Cons - Like most other US universities, this anthropology program takes the four field approach. I am interested in forensic anthropology. I do not understand why I have to take linguistics courses to graduate!"

"The great strengths of the program are the faculty and the relationship you have with them as you pursue your degree. The PhD in Fine Arts is a unique program to Texas Tech University, and there is much flexibility to create the precise degree that you want within that."

"I enjoy my fellow grad students and professors. I have enjoyed my classes thus far. The only con I have thus far is some of my fellow students were admitted and their knowledge of the subject matter is low."

"Excellent school and program. Internationally known faculty in various departments provides excellent exposure to research, projects and people in all aspects of the different available industries."

"I would recommend Texas Tech. It helped me understand that learning is a lifetime experience."

"The pros of the program is the quality of the education and the support for the research each graduate student is expected to perform. The cons are the lack of interaction between graduate students which limits social life."

"The cons of the program are lack of graduate classes pertaining to my are and are only offered once every two years in some cases. The pros are that the faculty and staff are top notch. The level of support given to graduate students in my Biology department is more than other programs or places I have worked for."

"Excellent Business School. Great placement record. Very rich learning from both faculty and well informed peer students. Tremendous value for money. Go Tech!"

"The graduate program is very researched based which has been a benefit to me, as my background is in practical journalism. Studying the research behind Mass Communications has helped me to understand the reasoning in a lot of the decisions that media practitioners make. The downside is that there is not much practical application because it is based in research. The other downside is that it is a newer program so a lot of the kinks are still being worked out."

"The negative aspects of this program primarily affect those students pursuing a concentration in linguistics. There are not enough linguistics faculty members to offer a wide range of classes or perspectives. That being said, the linguistics faculty is excellent in terms of both teaching and research. The English program as a whole includes a wide range of sub-fields. The coursework for all classes was reasonably challenging and I learned important lessons from all of my assignments. Most students accepted into the program do receive a fee waiver and a TA stipend. While this still leaves tuition to be paid by the student, the cost of living in Lubbock can be incredibly cheap!"

"Texas Tech offers a diverse law program and quality faculty."

"Great program, supportive advisors and supportive career center!"

"Texas Tech is the best law program in Texas. I am excited to be a part of it!"

"I think that the education I am getting is stellar. There is a good variety of classes so that you can tailor your experience to fit your interests and goals. My faculty are bright and publish in their fields in respected journals or with respected publishers. The problem is that there isn't a lot of support across the campus for graduate students. There is little money for scholarships. Assistantships and fellowships don't pay very well, and there isn't support for research opportunities outside of STEM."

"The program seems very interested in the best interest of its students. It seems more like a family than a class. The only con of the program is the location in terms of the main campus."

"TTU is one of the largest universities with students from various countries.It is a very safe place and the cost of living is very affordable for international students.The faculty and the research at tec is commendable.Commuting is very easy for people who cannot afford cars.Excellent teachers and very hospitable place."

"The program is intense but the students in the program are always enthusiastic about the courses and the professors are always available."
