Texas Tech Personal Financial Planning Program Becomes a Department

Texas Tech University will have a standalone Personal Financial Planning department starting in the fall of 2012. Professor Vickie Hampton will become the chair of the new department, and the department will be comprised of twelve full-time faculty and five graduate adjunct faculty members.

The Personal Financial Planning program has grown rapidly over the past ten years. As a department with more research opportunities, the planning group will be able to meet the needs of students more efficiently.
