Working at Texas A&M University
Texas A&M opened its doors in 1876 as the state's first public institution of higher learning. Today, we stand as a research-intensive flagship university dedicated to sending Aggie leaders out into the world prepared to take on the challenges of tomorrow.
Texas A&M is the state's first public institution of higher education. With a student body of more than 59,000 and more than 5,200 acres on the College Station campus, Texas A&M is also among the nation's largest universities.
There are many terms and phrases that are unique to Texas A&M, and you'll often hear Aggies using them when speaking to one another. These words are often rooted in history and tradition, much like the university itself.
Faculty are the foundation of our university, and are integral to fulfilling the land, sea and space grant missions of Texas A&M University.
