Texas Tech U Achieves High Honor

University Reaches Carnegie Tier One Classification

Texas Tech University has reached the coveted Carnegie Tier One Classification becoming one of 86 public universities in the very high research activity category.

"Our Carnegie classification reflects the success of our faculty, staff and students," said Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec. "This recognition is a point of pride for the entire Texas Tech community and evidence of Texas Tech's continued progress in attaining status as a research university of the highest quality."

"I am very proud of Texas Tech researchers, whose hard work is the foundation for Texas Tech achieving and maintaining our status as an institution in the Carnegie Very High Research Activity classification," said Joseph A. Heppert, vice president for research in the Office of Research & Innovation. "The staff in my office works hard to support researchers, but it is truly the excellence of Texas Tech research faculty, staff and students that enables us to gain continuing recognition among the world's premier research universities."

Texas Tech helped meet the criteria by substantially increasing their number of doctoral degrees over the past seven years. This makes eight of the Big 12 Texas schools including the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at Dallas, Rice University, Texas A&M University, University of Houston and University of North Texas to achieve the Tier One designation.
