U.S. News & World Report Ranks TTUHSC Schools Among Best for 2025 Graduate School Rankings
Several graduate programs at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) have been recognized in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate School Rankings, reaffirming the university’s continued excellence in health sciences education and training.
TTUHSC’s School of Medicine ranked No. 5 in the Tier 1 Best Medical Schools: Primary Care category, affirming its national leadership in primary care education. The innovative Family Medicine Accelerated Track (FMAT) program, launched in 2010, is a cornerstone of the school’s commitment to primary care. The program enables students to earn their degree in three years — at approximately half the cost of the traditional four-year program — while preparing students for critical roles in primary care.
Additionally, the TTUHSC School of Nursing ranked No. 10 nationally in the Tier 1 Best Midwifery Programs category. TTUHSC’s Nurse Midwifery Track emphasizes community-based birth experiences outside of hospital settings. Students receive clinical training alongside experienced midwifery preceptors in birth centers and home environments.
Other highlights from the TTUHSC School of Health Professions and the Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy include the following rankings in the Tier 1 category:
- #42 in Occupational Therapy (tie)/out of 282 programs
- #44 in Pharmacy (tie)/out of 141 programs
- #50 in Physical Therapy (tie)/out of 264 programs
- #74 in Speech-Language Pathology (tie)/out of 283 programs
TTUHSC Executive Vice President and Provost Darrin D’Agostino, D.O, said these rankings reflect TTUHSC’s dedication to preparing future health care professionals to meet the evolving needs of patients and communities across Texas and the nation.
“Our consistent national rankings speak to the strength and breadth of our academic programs and the impact our graduates are making in real-world health care settings,” D’Agostino said. “We are proud of our faculty, staff and students whose hard work and innovation continue to elevate TTUHSC’s reputation.”
U.S. News & World Report evaluates hundreds of graduate schools each year based on criteria such as academic reputation, faculty credentials, research activity and graduate success. The rankings are intended to help students make informed decisions when pursuing advanced degrees.
