MAY 2018 3 ABOUT TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

ROM ITS VERY BEGINNING the Texas Tech University community has had a sense of destiny and an aware- ness of the impact it could and would have on Texas and the wider world. Originally Fnamed Texas Technological College, Texas Tech opened in 1925 with six buildings, four schools (Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, and Liberal Arts), and an enrollment of 914. Texas Tech grew rapidly after World War II, and in 1969 the Texas legislature approved a name change to Texas Tech University. In the years since, Texas Tech has grown to become the largest comprehensive higher education institution in the western two-thirds of the state. As the only campus in Texas that is home to a major university, law school, and medical school, the university is the major institution of higher education in a region larger than 46 of the nation’s 50 states. Today, Texas Tech continues to thrive, with more than 36,000 students enrolled in its 11 colleges: Agricultural Sciences & Natural Re- sources, Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Jerry S. Rawls College of Business, Education, Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, Honors College, Human Sciences, Media & Commu- nication, J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts, and the Graduate School, as well as University Programs via the Provost’s Office. The institution’s goal is to enroll 40,000 students by 2020. Because of its educational scope and purpose, as well as the size of the region it serves, Texas Tech University operates in numerous Texas lo- cations beyond the Lubbock campus. In all, the Texas Tech University System—which includes Texas Tech University, Angelo State University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Cen- ter at El Paso—has more than 44,000 students enrolled.

From these proud graduates Shave emerged captains of industry, world-re- nowned surgeons, noted authors, famous singers, acclaimed teachers and professors, attorneys, en- trepreneurs, agronomists, scientists, professional athletes, and countless others who have claimed positions of service and responsibility in a rapidly changing world. Texas Tech University graduates have governed states, flown in space, served as Presidential cabi- net members, won Olympic gold medals, served as ambassadors to foreign countries, acted on Broadway stages, won Pulitzer Prizes, served in Congress, led Fortune 500 companies, and been watched by millions on network television news. Not all graduates will achieve fame and fortune in equal measure, but all Texas Tech graduates can point with pride to the solid academic preparation they received and the personal connec- tions they made as Red Raiders. For beneath the spacious skies of West Texas and in the halls of brick and tile through which they strolled during their time on campus, generations of Texas Tech students have been provided a foundation for success that is without parallel. As they take their first steps into careers that will see many of them literally change the world, they can remem- ber with certainty one important fact about Texas Tech University: From here, it’s possible.

14 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY CANDIDATES FOR GRADUATE DEGREES

The doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions of higher learning. The doctorate usually represents prolonged periods of advanced study culminating in a dissertation intended to contribute substantially to the body of knowledge on the subject. The most widely sought doctorate is the Doctor of Philosophy, which no longer has an implication of philosophy as the major field of study but represents advanced research in any of the major fields of knowledge. The master’s degree is an academic honor bestowed upon students who have successfully completed work beyond the baccalaureate. Both a thesis and an oral examination are usually but not always required. When applicable, the graduate’s thesis topic is listed.

denoted by denoted by The first athletic teams of the university were known as the Matadors, a name that reflected the Spanish architectural influence on campus. The change from Matadors to Red Raiders occurred after a Lubbock Avalanche-Journal writer com- mented on the red uniforms and strong season of the 1932 football team, saying “the Red Raiders from Texas Tech” were the terror of the Southwest Conference. The name caught on and by 1936 the team was renamed the Red Raiders. No changes were ever made to the lyrics of the school song, which was penned in 1930.
