Great College to Work For – Workplace Recognition

A Great College to Work For

Based on the results of an employee engagement survey administered by ModernThink and the Great Colleges to Work For® program, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is one of the best colleges in the nation to work for! The 2025 recognition marks the sixth time the university has been awarded, in addition to 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

This year, TTUHSC won awards in three categories: 

• Job satisfaction and support
• Shared governance
• Faculty experience

The Great Colleges to Work For® program was designed to recognize colleges that have been successful in creating great workplaces and to further research and understand the factors, dynamics and influences that have the most impact on organizational culture in higher education.

This year marked the 18th anniversary of the Great Colleges to Work For® program, which included 199 colleges from across the country: 123 four-year colleges and 76 two-year colleges.

2025 Recognition Areas

The Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace recognition programs in the country. All of the program analysis was conducted by ModernThink, an organizational development firm with particular survey and “Best Place to Work” expertise.

The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captured employment data and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was employee feedback.
