Abilene Red Raiders ride to TTU Health Science Center

ABILENE – Construction will soon begin on a 40,000-sf Health Science Center at the Texas Tech campus in Abilene.

The facility will include a student union for the public health, nursing and pharmacy school students already on campus.

The new center will accommodate up to 200 students.

The School of Public Health plans to enroll its first ten students this fall. They will work out of the School of Pharmacy until the Public Health campus is finished for fall 2016.

Texas Tech will offer a Masters of Public Health in one of five specialties with plans to eventually offer a doctorate degree.
