A new Master's program at Texas Tech's Rawls College of Business is already changing how academic advising works across the state.
Beyond the program's reach, Rawls also highlighted individual student successes, reinforcing the quality of its student body and programs. Anju Shori, for example, is pursuing her PMBA after facing considerable life challenges, while Christian Rose earned the prestigious Summer 2026 Banner Bearer title. Plus, the college is broadening its Business Careers Awareness Program (BCAP) all the way to Irving schools, demonstrating Tech's commitment to fostering business acumen among high schoolers well beyond our city limits. This outreach puts Lubbock firmly on the map for educational innovation.
For us here, these developments mean our university continues to solidify its reputation as a leading force in business education, not just a regional player. It signals a growing statewide impact originating from right here, near Broadway and Flint, potentially drawing more talent and investment back to the South Plains. When Tech programs make waves in places like Irving or influence university policies statewide, it elevates Lubbock's standing as a hub for innovation and opportunity.
It turns out Tech's business school is quietly building an empire far beyond the Caprock.
