2026-2027 Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog

Addendum


Texas Tech University’s Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog is largely a static document meant to reflect the requirements and programs in existence at the time of a student’s enrollment in the university. Texas Tech University permits occasional changes to courses or programs effective within the current academic year. When changes make a course or program less restrictive, and these changes are made after the publication of the catalog, the catalog is updated to reflect the new, less restrictive requirements. Below is a list of course- or program-altering items that have been modified since the catalog’s initial online publication in April 2026. Please note that these changes will NOT be reflected in the PDF version of the catalog.
