With Texas Tech's degree completion path, students can begin their educational journey with no financial commitment through free microcredential courses offered as a blend of online learning and in-person supplemental instruction at the Irving site. Participants also can leverage their previous work and life experience to earn up to nine free credit hours through the program's prior learning assessment process. Those nine, plus the 12 free microcredential hours, are equivalent to 21 credit hours at no cost. Upon completion of the microcredentials, learners will be admitted to the bachelor's program and finish the remainder of their courses online, choosing between a Bachelor of Arts in University Studies or a Bachelor of Science in Leadership Studies.
