Prelaw Learning Communities
Want to live with other Prelaw Students?
The Texas Tech University Prelaw Program is now accepting applications for residency within our designated learning communities.
First-time Freshman students in the Prelaw Learning Community can also participate in Freshman Interest Group (FIG), in which up to 20 students are enrolled in a common set of course sections during the fall semester.
What is a Learning Community?
- Learning Communities at TTU are specially designated floors on which students live with other students sharing their academic and personal interests.
- Students are provided programming focused on those interests to increase access to faculty, academic staff and students pursuing common goals.
- There is no additional cost for participating in Learning Communities.
- It provides a unique experience for students interested in going to law school after college to live together in an environment supporting their academic, personal, and professional success with assistance from the TTU Prelaw Program.
