Administration & Departments
The 61st Legislature created Texas Tech University School of Medicine in 1969 as a multi-campus institution with Lubbock as an administrative center and regional campuses in Amarillo, El Paso, and Odessa. Since then, the school has grown into a comprehensive academic health care university and has expanded into Abilene, Dallas, and Midland. Having changed official names in 1979, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center now consists of schools of medicine, nursing, health professions, pharmacy and biomedical sciences, and serves a population of more than 2 million people dispersed across a vast 108-county area of West Texas.
