The Texas Tech School of Banking recently completed its 2026 session. Banking professionals from across Texas and New Mexico convened at Rawls College of Business on the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock for the program.
Established in 1973, the school offers a blend of traditional academic coursework and interactive lecture sessions hosted by industry experts and Texas Tech University faculty. To graduate from the program, participants must attend for two years, each year consisting of an intensive week-long session. This year, 49 bankers successfully completed the program.
Save the date: Next year’s Texas Tech School of Banking session will be held August 8–13, 2027.
