About This School

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is a public institution located in Lubbock, Texas with approximately 1,374 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $100,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is a public medical school based in Lubbock, Texas, with additional campuses in Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas, and the Permian Basin. TTUHSC serves more than 100 counties in the western portion of Texas. The university is a separate institution from Texas Tech University; both universities are among five universities that are part of the Texas Tech University System. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, founded in 1969 as a branch campus of TTUHSC, became a separate institution in 2013.

This is a strong option for students committed to health sciences careers, especially those looking to serve rural and underserved communities across West Texas — the median earnings of $100,600 a decade out reflect a focused, career-ready graduate population. The relatively low median debt of $11,250 at graduation is a genuine standout, meaning most students aren't starting their careers buried in loans. The small undergraduate enrollment of 1,374 signals this isn't a traditional four-year experience, so be clear-eyed that you're entering a specialized, professional pipeline rather than a broad university environment.
