Special Department Admission Requirements for Texas Tech University College of Business

Admission of Transfer Students

Students planning to take their first two years of work at a junior or community college should follow the lower-division degree plan. A maximum of 72 hours can be accepted provided none of the courses are vocational, workforce education, career, or upper-division courses.

Courses that are acceptable from a four-year institution are the lower-division requirements, free electives, and the following upper-division core: BLAW 3391, FIN 3320, ISQS 3344, MGT 3370, and MKT 3350. The last 30 hours must be taken while registered in the Rawls College of Business.

Students transferring from another institution must have MATH 1331 (Introductory Mathematical Analysis II) or MATH 1451 (Calculus I) with a grade of C or better, at least 15 completed credit hours with a minimum 2.75 GPA, and be TSI compliant. Transfer credit is not used in the calculation of a student’s Texas Tech grade point average. The Rawls College of Business has the authority for determining which transfer courses apply toward a B.B.A. degree program. Only free electives will be accepted as pass/fail. Official transcripts from all institutions are needed before the acceptance of transfer credit.

Students requesting permission to transfer from another college at Texas Tech must have MATH 1331 (Introductory Mathematical Analysis II) or MATH 1451 (Calculus I) with a grade of C or better, at least 15 completed credit hours with a minimum 2.75 GPA, and be TSI compliant. A student is officially admitted to the college by a formal transfer completed by the Undergraduate Services Center. No business administration minor course can be used in place of a major requirement.

The last 30 hours prior to graduation must be taken while enrolled in the Rawls College of Business.

Texas Tech University Undergraduate Degree Requirements

Alamo Colleges District developed each Transfer Advising Guide with the understanding to account for Texas Tech University Uniform Undergraduate Degree Requirements as well as Texas Tech University college-specific requirements, if applicable.

The Texas Tech University Uniform Undergraduate Degree Requirements apply to all Texas Tech undergraduates regardless of their major or college. The requirements have six components:

General Requirements
Core Curriculum Requirement
Multicultural Requirement
Foreign Language Requirement
Science Laboratory Requirement
Communication Literacy Requirement

Texas Tech University Uniform Undergraduate Degree Requirement for Foreign Language differs from the College of Arts & Sciences Foreign Language Requirement; please visit the Texas Tech University College of Arts & Sciences webpage to verify if your desired degree (BA or BS) is listed under College of Arts & Sciences AND if you have additional foreign language hours required.

The College of Arts & Sciences requires 1-2 credit hours of Personal Fitness and Wellness. However, students over age 25 are exempt. Any student who has served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces for a minimum of 90 days may receive credit for 2 semester hours in personal fitness and wellness. Application for this credit must be made in the first semester of attendance at Texas Tech University. Students participating in varsity athletics may enroll in the PFW course that corresponds to their varsity sport. A maximum of 1 credit hour per academic year per sport may be earned in this manner.

The Alamo Colleges District Advising

Students are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor about courses and other educational concerns if they plan to pursue a two-year degree program, transfer to another college or university, or simply take a few selected courses. In addition to course and degree requirements, policies and procedures are subject to change; stay informed by meeting with an academic advisor regularly.

Many students who plan to transfer to a university are advised to fulfill the lower-division requirements for the university. With appropriate planning, your Alamo Colleges District team can help make the transfer experience a seamless process.
