Texas Tech University is a public, coeducational research university located in Lubbock, Texas, U.S. Established on February 10, 1923, and originally known as Texas Technological College, it is the leading institution of the Texas Tech University System and has the sixth largest student body in the state of Texas. With 1,839 acres, it has the second largest contiguous campus in the United States and is the only school in Texas to house an undergraduate institution, law school, and medical school at the same location.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are members of the Big 12 Conference and compete in Division I for all varsity sports. The Red Raiders football team has made 31 bowl appearances, which is tied for 17th most of any university. The men's basketball team has made 14 appearances in the NCAA Division I Tournament. Bob Knight, the winningest coach in men's NCAA D-1 basketball history, served as the team's head coach from 2001 to 2008. The Lady Raiders women's basketball team won the 1993 women's national championship.
The call to open a college in West Texas began shortly after the arrival of settlers in the area. In 1917, the Texas legislature passed a bill creating a branch of Texas A&M to be located in Abilene. However, the bill was repealed during the next session after it was discovered that Governor James E. Ferguson had provided inaccurate information concerning the site committee's choice of location. In 1923, the legislature decided that, rather than a branch, an entirely new university system should be created to serve the needs of the region.

How fast I can earn BBA from ITT tech institute if I have 3-year Engineering Diploma from India (Govt Polytechnic) & 12 year of work experience in Telecommunication ?

Best Answer
Degree programs from ITT Tech are not recognised by very many "Real" Universities. It is possible to "Challange" some classes. You sign up for the class (and pay tuition) Then instead of going to the daily classes, you take a test to prove you know the material. Good luck!
