Texas Tech University System
The Texas Tech University System is a public university system in Texas with five member universities. Headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, the Texas Tech University System is a $3 billion enterprise focused on advancing higher education, health care, research, and outreach with approximately 21,000 employees and 64,000 students, more than 400,000 alumni and an endowment valued at $3.35 billion. In its short history (established in 1996), the TTU System has grown tremendously with 24 academic locations statewide and internationally.
On February 10, 1923, Texas Technological College (now named Texas Tech University) was founded, and that August, a committee selected to locate the institution in Lubbock. The Board of Directors of Texas Technological College (now named the Board of Regents of the Texas Tech University System) was established to oversee the institution.
In 1969, the Texas Tech University School of Medicine (now named Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center), was founded as a separate multi-campus institution from Texas Tech University. It was also overseen by same board of regents as Texas Tech University.
In 1985, then state senator, and future TTU System chancellor, John T. Montford proposed the creation of the Texas Tech University System.
In 1999, the Texas Legislature formally established the Texas Tech University System, consisting of the same two institutions, overseen by the board of regents, and the newly created position of chancellor to provide leadership and support for both Texas Tech University, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
In 2007, Angelo State University left the Texas State University System and joined the Texas Tech University System. On May 18, 2013, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso was established as a standalone institution after previously being a regional site for TTUHSC in El Paso.
On August 6, 2020, the Texas Tech University System and Midwestern State University agreed to a memorandum of understanding to begin the process of MSU Texas becoming the fifth university to join the system. The process continued on June 8, 2021, when Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 1522 into law. Midwestern State officially became a component institution when HB 1522 went into effect on September 1, 2021.
Angelo State University is a public university with an enrollment of 10,826 (fall 2021) located in San Angelo, Texas. It was founded in 1928 as a two-year college. In 1965, the school began offering four-year degrees and 10 years later became part of the Texas State University System.
