Texas A&M University System

The Texas A&M University System is a state university system in Texas and is one of the state's seven independent university systems.

The Texas A&M University System is one of the largest systems of higher education in the United States, with a budget of $7.3 billion. Through a statewide network of 12 universities, 8 state agencies, and the RELLIS Campus, the Texas A&M System educates nearly 170,000 students and makes more than 22 million additional educational contacts through service and outreach programs each year. System-wide, research and development expenditures exceeded $1.6 billion and helped drive the state's economy.

The system's flagship institution is Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The letters "A&M" (originally A.M.C. for "agricultural and mechanical college") are retained to honor the university's former designation.
