For Academics

We understand the importance of preparing tomorrow's healthcare professionals from diverse perspectives and disciplines. To achieve our goals, we strive to create a collaborative environment to give our students a fully-rounded healthcare education. Students from various professions actively collaborate with one another, working towards a shared objective: improving our existing methods of treatments and enhancing overall patient health.

At the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, we pride ourselves on creating a student-centered learning environment to foster a unique community of undergraduate and graduate students from across the globe that have one common goal: improving health and the quality of life in West Texas and across the nation.

Our mission is for each of our students to develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enjoy a productive career in psychiatry, clinical counseling, and mental healthcare.

As a public research university, we are committed to providing the highest level of educational excellence and the continuous advancement of knowledge. We are among 131 universities and colleges in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education's "Very High Research Activity" category.

The Clinical Counseling and Mental Health Programs are led by top-level instructors from our Department of Psychiatry who are dedicated to progress and moving the healthcare industry forward.
