Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

What are the graduation rates for students at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center?

A single four-year or six-year freshman graduation rate would give an incomplete picture of TTUHSC. The institution has many programs that students enter after prior college study, alongside graduate and professional degrees with different expected lengths.

Federal first-time, full-time undergraduate graduation measures follow a narrowly defined entering cohort. They are not interchangeable with completion rates for transfer entrants, nursing students, medical students or doctoral candidates. A prospective student will learn more by asking their chosen program for its recent completion rate, typical time to degree and, where applicable, licensure-exam results. Those measures should be read together: passing a licensing exam describes a different outcome from finishing a degree on schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures give a limited view of former students' earnings approximately one year after completing a program. The figures below are reported medians for federally aided completers with earnings data, grouped by field of study; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.

• Registered nursing and related nursing fields: $64,946.
• Clinical and medical laboratory science and related fields: $56,565.
• Health and medical administrative services: $56,266.
• Communication disorders sciences and services: $26,423.

These one-year figures should not be used as a direct ranking of programs. Fields differ in credential level, licensing timelines, further-study patterns and the kinds of jobs included in federal earnings records. The figures also do not show debt, hours worked, local living costs or later career earnings. Applicants should compare a figure with the exact credential and career path they are considering.
