A&M University 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.
A&M-Texarkana is a non-residential institution dedicated to offering career-oriented studies, awarding undergraduate and graduate degrees in the areas of business administration, arts and sciences, and education. Students in adjacent counties of Oklahoma and Arkansas attend at in-state tuition rates, and historically 28 percent of the student body is from Arkansas and approximately 68 percent is enrolled part-time.
