Yulia Makarova
Master’s in Fine Arts,
Russia At Texas Tech, the
small size of the degree
program, access to faculty
who are the leaders in
their fields and a diverse
student body will help me
sharpen my skills as an
artist and provide me with
a professional network after graduation. The studio work
has been intellectually challenging.
Kelvin Lee
Bachelor’s in
Environmental
Engineering, Hong Kong
My life at Texas Tech is
probably the best time of
my life. I came here all by
myself, but I was able to
make so many friends.
They are interested
in where I am from and we always share our cultural
experiences.
There is a strong sense of community here, and I find the
academic environment very supportive. Some
of my peers have become good friends. It’s the people
I’ve met here who will stand out in my memories of
Texas Tech.
Environmental Engineering is tough, but you are not
alone. Texas Tech has a very strong atmosphere that all
peers are striving for honor and will help each other out.

“ ”
Jovita Lektzian
Bachelor’s in Apparel
Design, Lithuania The
professionalism and
friendliness of all of my
professors are at the
highest level. I really love
being part of the Red

like my professors are
committed to helping me learn and succeed. They are
so knowledgeable and caring that they have made my

economic development of the state, nation, and world.
Texas Tech students come from every county in Texas, all 50 states and more than 90 foreign
countries.

Featured Programs in the Rawls College of
Business
The Rawls faculty is committed to mentoring and producing the next generation of business
educators and researchers. Rawls professors are recognized as top international scholars in their
fields and are among the most highly cited authors in the Scopus database of scientific research.
Of particular interest for international students are the Master of Science in Data Science, the
STEM MBA program, and the Essentials of Business Certificate.
Featured Programs in the Edward E.
Whitacre, Jr. College of Engineering
Graduate Programs
The Texas Tech Whitacre College of Engineering is a highly-ranked college that builds bridges
between classroom theory and practical application.
According to U.S. News & World Report, seven of our graduate programs ranked in the top 100
graduate programs in the United States for their respective disciplines in recent years. These
include the Chemical, Civil and Environmental, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical, and
Petroleum Engineering programs.
Texas Tech faculty and students pursue basic and applied research that generate new knowledge
and create technical solutions to society's challenges, all in an environment that is committed to
the individual student's success.
Graduate programs provide strong research experiences, as well as preparation for a professional,
academic, or research career.

“Our Master of Science in Data Science
is geared toward business analysts who
not only understand big data, but who
can effectively use it in business. Our
graduates will understand specialized
tools to acquire and use data. Then,
from the business end, they will
understand how to use the data for a
competitive advantage. Our program
incorporates three key characteristics:
asking the right types of questions;
using technology to obtain data; and
using statistics to understand the data.”

technical savvy │ analytical skills │ business skills │ actionable insight
About the Program
This one-year STEM-designated program consists of
12 courses. Students will learn how to use advanced
technologies to manipulate big data, utilize rigorous
statistical methods to interpret the data, and
obtain the business skills necessary to translate their
understanding into actionable organizational strategies.
Course topics include statistics, technology, and
business, as well as courses integrating the three areas.
Graduates can expect to find employment in data
science, business analytics, business intelligence, and
big data fields – some of the most rapidly growing
areas in business as well as in medicine and the
applied sciences. With the Rawls College’s low tuition
rates and one-year completion time, this program
offers an excellent return on investment for students.
Industry Demand
Industry demand for qualified data scientists has
exceeded the supply. A McKinsey Global Institute
report estimates that by 2018, “the United States
alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000
people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million
managers and analysts with the know-how to use the
analysis of big data to make effective decisions.” In
fact, the Harvard Business Review called data science
the “sexiest job of the 21st century.” There is no
industry that will be untouched by the demand for
data scientists who can effectively interpret large
amounts of data and communicate findings.

and writes a thesis based on the findings of the research; the
report-option student completes 33 hours of coursework and
writes a report on a selected topic.
Master of Environmental Engineering (MEnvE)
A unique design-oriented 5-year professional degree program
that prepares the graduate to specialize in an Environmental
Engineering career. Because students enter this program
as undergraduates, the program is administered as an
undergraduate offering.
Graduate Certificate in

RESEARCH
The Department of Chemical Engineering’s graduate program
at Texas Tech University is dynamic and internationally visible.
Our laboratory facilities support innovative experimental
programs, and our computational resources are exploited for
state-of-the-art modeling and simulation activities.
Award-winning research is carried out in the following areas:
• Bioengineering
• Energy and Sustainability
• Polymers and Materials
• Simulation and Modeling in Chemical Engineering
GRADUATE PROGRAMS
The master’s and Ph.D. programs enable students to be
involved in the research areas listed above.
Master of Science in Chemical Engineering
A written thesis and a minimum of 24 hours of graduate-level
coursework, exclusive of thesis and seminar, are required
for the master’s degree. The master’s program may also be
completed without a thesis.
Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering
The Ph.D. program builds upon the foundation of knowledge
developed in the course of prior studies at the B.S. and M.S.
levels. The Ph.D. degree requires five core courses plus
twelve additional courses that are decided between the Ph.D.
candidate and the faculty thesis advisor. Many of these courses
are special topics and independent study courses.
Students must pass a qualifying examination for the doctorate
degree and perform novel and innovative research that leads
to a written thesis. The thesis is defended in a final oral
examination by the Doctoral committee that is chaired by
the thesis advisor. Most students take five years post−B.S. to
complete the Ph.D. degree plan.
“Seminars were thought-provoking
and scientifically stimulating.”
“It was amazing to work and get things
done with my research advisor.”
“All the people in the department are very
helpful and made my stay here wonderful.”

the student with unique opportunities for directly interfacing
with industry as well as for first-hand observations of oil field
operations.
The department has been consistently ranked in the top 10
petroleum engineering departments nationwide for both the
graduate and undergraduate program.
Doctor of Philosophy in Petroleum Engineering
The objectives of the Ph.D. program are to provide students
opportunities to reach a critical understanding of the basic
scientific and engineering principles underlying their fields of
interest within the petroleum industry.
Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering
The master’s program requires a minimum of 33 graduate
credit hours above the baccalaureate degree, including 6
credit hours allowed for the thesis. The department also offers
a non-thesis master’s program that requires a minimum of
33 graduate credit hours approved by the graduate advisor
(excluding seminar). The graduate program for nonthesis
master’s candidate is specifically tailored for that candidate’s
educational background, industry experience, and interest.
Certificate in Petroleum Engineering
The department offers a Graduate Certificate in Petroleum
Engineering that is intended to supplement a course of
study for the student who possesses an engineering degree
