“The partnership with Hill College allows students from the local area to earn both an associate degree and a bachelor’s degree without leaving Johnson County,” said Dr. Lewis Snell, director of Texas Tech University at Hill College. “We are fortunate to have such a good relationship with Hill College and the Johnson County community. We look forward to building degree options and growing the opportunities for Texas Tech students for years to come. The first three students are a sign of what is to come in Johnson County. We are excited to continue the growth of our programming and to make four year options a reality for many students in the future.”
