Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi is proud of its history as a college and university of excellence.

Students are the heart of our university and all academic programs are designed to provide them with an excellent education that should catapult them into successful careers and allow them to make a significant contribution to society and the world in which we live. Numerous internships, opportunities to conduct research with faculty, community projects, and an engagement in a campus that values student input and participation in the governance characterize this university.

Many of our facilities are new and most are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that provides hands-on experiences for all students. Faculty come from a wide variety of top universities and are dedicated to the success of our students .

As a student, your opportunities at TAMU-CC are endless. As a faculty member, you have opportunities to help develop new traditions and lay the foundation for a growing university and its future. And we all get to learn and work at a university that sits on Corpus Christi Bay and is minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, a place with palm trees swaying in the breeze, dolphins swimming off shore, and students meeting in several plazas surrounded by lush vegetation, but most importantly, a place that you can help build traditions and implement programs for the first time. Come to Corpus Christi! It's a happening place!
