Texas A&M University–Texarkana, public university in Texarkana, Texas, U.S
Texas A&M University-Texarkana is a public university in Texarkana, Texas, offering bachelor's and master's degree programs in fields such as business, education, and health sciences. The compact campus sits on the eastern side of the city and includes classrooms, faculty offices, and study spaces set among tended green grounds.
The university opened in 1971 as an upper-level institution serving students who had already completed two years of college, without offering full four-year programs. In 2009 it began admitting students from their first year, which allowed it to grow into a full four-year university.
The university serves as a gathering place for students from across the region, creating a community where people feel they belong from day one. Student clubs and organizations shape daily campus life, helping people pursue shared interests and build lasting connections.
The campus is in eastern Texarkana and is easiest to reach by car, since public transit options in the area are limited. On-site, a Success Center offers academic support and guidance, and health and counseling services are available to enrolled students.
Texarkana straddles the Texas-Arkansas state line, and the university draws students from both states, making it one of the few campuses that naturally serves a two-state region. Because of this geography, some students technically live in Arkansas while attending a Texas public university.
