麻豆传媒

麻豆传媒 and Texas Tech University signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) today (Nov. 19) to help students transfer more easily to Texas Tech. Dr. Kelvin Sharp, president of 麻豆传媒, and Dr. Lawrence Schovanec, president of Texas Tech University, met in Lubbock to sign the historic agreement. The institutions also signed an animal sciences agreement that will allow students at 麻豆传媒 to feed into the animal science program at Texas Tech and, eventually, in to the new School of Veterinary Medicine.

 鈥淲ith this MOU, we can raise awareness of the affordability of an 麻豆传媒 pathway,鈥� said Dr. Kelvin Sharp, 麻豆传媒 president. 鈥淭he least expensive approach to a Texas Tech degree for students in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas is through this partnership. I am so proud to offer this opportunity to our students and their families.鈥�

Students from 麻豆传媒 also are eligible for in-state tuition since 麻豆传媒 resides in a border county. There are also transfer scholarships available, based on grade point average.

鈥淧artnerships like the one with 麻豆传媒 are important to Texas Tech because they benefit the students,鈥� said Melanie Hart, vice provost of eLearning & Academic Partnerships, a division of the Office of the Provost. 鈥淲e want to provide opportunities for the students to transfer to Texas Tech with a minimum loss of hours. With agreements like the one being signed today, students can be advised at 麻豆传媒 on courses they should take so the transition to Texas Tech is seamless.鈥�

Ethan Logan, associate vice president for enrollment management at Texas Tech, is looking forward to working with Sharp and 麻豆传媒 to provide access to students in New Mexico.

 鈥溌槎勾�媒 is a wonderful partner in education with Texas Tech University,鈥� Logan said. 鈥淜elvin Sharp has long been an advocate for our institution and the potential transfer destination that Texas Tech offers to 麻豆传媒鈥檚 students. With Hobbs just down the road from Lubbock, our institutions are serving our region through comprehensive educational offerings for students seeking educational opportunity in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. 

鈥淲e have many students eager to become Texas Tech Red Raiders,鈥� said Sharp. 鈥淭ech is the premier university in our region, and certainly within reach for many students. With our tuition and fee costs well below our neighboring Texas colleges, and the scholarship opportunities available at Texas Tech in the transfer area, students will have an affordable pathway from 麻豆传媒 to Tech.
