Does a student have to be in a certain college or have a certain major in order to be considered for Phi Beta Kappa?
Students who meet the eligibility requirements regardless of major or college can be considered. The Phi Beta Kappa Society emphasizes the importance of a core education in the liberal arts and sciences, and it is the case that students with majors in the arts, humanities, sciences, or social sciences will be more likely to demonstrate depth and breadth in areas core to Phi Beta Kappa, but membership at Texas Tech is not restricted to students in certain colleges and degree programs. Phi Beta Kappans are found in all walks of life, and faculty and staff members of Phi Beta Kappa can be found in various divisions of Texas Tech.
