Texas Tech Welcomes Canadian Students
Canadian students are coming to Texas Tech University for excellent
academic opportunities at affordable prices. Students and faculty here are
tackling some of the world’s most challenging problems and opportunities
in engineering, business, agriculture, law and energy technologies.
Future health care professionals can pursue nine pre-professional
degrees, which can be followed with a hands-on education at the Texas
Tech Health Science Center, including innovative research and extensive
clinical experience. TTUHSC has five professional schools: Medicine,
Pharmacy, Nursing, Biomedical Sciences and Allied Health Sciences, which
includes careers in physical therapy, occupational therapy, optometry and
communication disorders.
Texas Tech has nearly 140 first degree programs, 103 master’s degree
programs, and 59 doctoral programs. The liberal arts programs are counted
among the top 10 percent in the nation by Phi Beta Kappa, the country’s
oldest undergraduate honor society. Texas Tech is only one of three public
institutions in Texas granted a PBK chapter.
International students are eligible for competitive scholarships based on academic achievement and
financial need. Several Canadian students have received athletic scholarships for baseball, basketball and
rodeo.

basketball, volleyball, racquetball courts, soccer arena, swimming pools, and jogging track. The center
has weight training, cardiovascular training and a dance/aerobic studio. The
center organizes intramural and club competition. It also offers adventure

fly into Lubbock. The area was named the Llano Estacado, by Vasquez de
Coronado during his 1541 expedition. The Spanish influence in still apparent

Lubbock basks in 263 days of sunshine a year. Although there are four
distinct seasons, the winters are mild and the summers are warm. The
average temperature is 16 C. Lubbock was ranked third in 2007 among
311 cities by Money Magazine’s “Best Places” for affordability of housing;
availability of leisure and cultural options; and its sunny, dry climate.
