About Texas A&M Texarkana
Texas A&M University-Texarkana, formerly East Texas State University at Texarkana, was established by the Texas Legislature in 1971 as an upper level, operationally separate unit of the East Texas University Complex. In September 1996, the university became a member of The Texas A&M University System and is governed by The Texas A&M University Board of Regents. Like other Texas public colleges and universities, A&M-Texarkana also operates under the jurisdiction of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
Located on the border of Texas and Arkansas, Texas A&M University-Texarkana is a comprehensive regional univeristy and provides the citizens of Northeast Texas and three neighboring states a convenient opportunity to earn a four year degree, a graduate degree and a doctoral degree. The university began accepting freshman, sophomore and doctoral students in the fall of 2010. The university provides great value for students by having among the lowest university tuition rates in the state.
Within the university there are three colleges: College of Business, College of Education and Liberal Arts and the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
