Texas A&M University, often referred to as Texas A&M or TAMU, is a premier public research university located in College Station, Texas. Established in 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, it was the state’s first public institution of higher education. Today, it is a flagship university with a distinguished reputation in research, scholarship, and military tradition. Texas A&M is a member of the Texas A&M University System, and its student body is one of the largest in the United States. The university is known for its strong programs in engineering, business, agriculture, and veterinary medicine. Texas A&M is also home to the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Its students, known as Aggies, are deeply engaged in tradition and school spirit, most famously embodying this through the “12th Man” tradition at football games. The university’s commitment to research and development is underscored by its designation as a land, sea, and space grant institution, emphasizing its broad research initiatives and contributions to the public good.
