TAMUCC Description

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is devoted to discovering, communicating and applying knowledge in a complex and changing world. The University identifies, attracts and graduates students of high potential, especially those from groups who have been historically under-represented in Texas higher education. Through a commitment to excellence in teaching, research and service, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi prepares students for lifelong learning and for responsible participation in the global community.

With more than 120 undergraduate degree programs for students to choose from, the university enrolls one of the 10 largest student bodies in the nation—and the largest outside a major metropolitan area. Texas A&M offers a comprehensive selection of 240 master's and Ph.D. degree programs and the only doctor of veterinary medicine in the state. Numerous programs have earned top rankings by U.S. News and World Report and other organizations. The university's academic and social support networks are focused on helping students succeed. Texas A&M's ability to produce effective leaders with extraordinary character, integrity, and a "can-do" attitude, truly sets it apart from other universities.

Exploring the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, performing on the finest stage in the Coastal Bend and undertaking new research to improve the lives of those in our community form the enriching experiences offered at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. We’re an active campus where our students, faculty and staff make all the difference.

Picture yourself in a tropical environment where top-notch academics and cutting-edge research are blended into a robust lifestyle. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is the only University in the nation located on its own island.

With palm trees lining pathways throughout the 240–acre campus, nearby natural wetlands and a pristine beach, we’ve become a first-choice destination for many students seeking a university that takes the lead, rather than follows.
