Texas Tech University is in compliance with Comprehensive Standard 3.4.13.

Degree programs and specializations or tracks within degree programs in all Texas Tech University colleges and schools are coordinated by qualified faculty. In some cases, individual faculty serve in the role of program coordinator. More commonly, decisions that relate to matters of curriculum development and/or review are handled by a departmental or program committee or by the faculty functioning as a committee of the whole. For all degree programs (Aerospace Studies and Military Science are not degree programs), the individuals who develop curriculum are tenured or tenure-track faculty who are qualified in their area of specialization and possess a terminal degree. All graduate program advisors are members of the graduate faculty at Texas Tech University. (Graduate faculty are members of the faculty who have been recognized “for scholarly activities, creativity, direction of graduate research and study, and other contributions to the graduate programs of the university and the Health Sciences Center. Except in special cases approved by the graduate dean, only graduate faculty may serve as instructors of graduate courses, conduct graduate examinations, and serve on thesis and dissertation committees.” [2004-2005 Texas Tech University Catalog http://www.depts.ttu.edu/officialpublications/catalog/GRADCouncil.html]).

A list of program coordinators for all degree programs and specialized tracks is available at http://www.irim.ttu.edu/SACS/TTUProgramDirectorList.pdf . In most cases only the person or persons most responsible for coordination have been placed on the list. Comments on credentials by college and department follow the list of names.
