Overview

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso is a border-region academic health center whose mission centers on training healthcare workers for the largely Hispanic Borderplex population spanning El Paso, southern New Mexico, and Ciudad Juarez. Undergraduate offerings are concentrated in nursing and biomedical sciences, taught alongside the campus's medical school and other health-professional programs.

Academics

Because the campus is built around graduate and professional health education, undergraduates train in close proximity to medical students, nursing faculty with clinical ties to regional hospitals, and biomedical researchers, an environment shaped more like a health sciences center than a traditional standalone undergraduate college.

After graduation

Graduates are positioned to enter the regional healthcare workforce directly, and the institution's explicit mission around underserved border-region healthcare shapes both its curriculum and the career paths many students pursue afterward.
