About the College

The HCOA (https://www.depts.ttu.edu/architecture/) currently enrolls close to 900 architecture students and has a reputation for producing technically trained, high performing architects, who understand the culture of design. In 2019, the HCOA was #10 on Design Intelligence's Most Hired From list. Our mission is to advance the knowledge, discipline, and practice of architecture through innovation, creative teaching, research, regional and global engagement, and scholarship. In support for this, the Lubbock campus offers four degrees: B.S. in Architecture, M.Arch, M.S. and Ph.D. The M.S. program offers three concentrations: Design Computation and Fabrication, Design and Health, and Urban and Community Design, along with one developing area, Ecological Architecture and Design. Additionally, the HCOA has a campus in El Paso, Texas, making the HCOA the only college of architecture with a permanent program on the US/Mexico border. The El Paso campus offers a B.S. in Architecture, border issues forming a fundamental aspect of that program, and M.S. program in Historic Preservation. The HCOA is also globally engaged with a semester abroad program in Seville, Spain as well as study abroad opportunities and exchange programs located in various international cities.
