           When 2015 is tallied for Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), it might be considered the year that propelled the University onto a larger national and international stage.

           The University’s prominence and visibility were measurably improved with a stunning series of rankings that helped to move the former regional university securely ahead.

            Those rankings included a first-ever ranking of Ninth in the Nation by The Economist, one of the world’s most prestigious weekly newspapers, which named TAMIU the only Texas institution in its Top 20. The ranking specifically looked at the college or university values, and those schools which boosted graduates’ salaries —and ranked colleges based on alumni earnings above expectation.

Other impressive TAMIU rankings included:

U.S. News & World Report ranked TAMIU No. 1 in U.S. among Colleges with Highest Hispanic Enrollment.

          TAMIU president, Dr. Ray Keck, said that the rankings are important as the University positions itself for growth.

         “We want to realize the mission that the people of Texas have historically endorsed for TAMIU.  Having the excellence of our faculty, students and programs repeatedly recognized by such barometers advances and helps us deliver that mission to a wider audience. We’re not content with being a best-kept secret, and these rankings attest to that.  When we are ranked in this way, we do see it impact student interest and enrollment, so we’re eager to earn these rankings,” Dr. Keck observed.

          He encouraged those interested in TAMIU review the online 2015 Annual Report, dubbed “This is Who We Are.”

         “This offers a comprehensive look at 2015, highlighting student and faculty accomplishments and TAMIU’s role in building legacies, cultivating leadership, inspiring innovation and forging partnerships.

         “It helps establish who we are: achievers, explorers and leaders -- but it also defines what we do:  we achieve greatness, we challenge ourselves, we engage community, we lead daily and we give back.  Seeing all that shared in the space of a year is an impressive offering that we’re excited to share with those we serve,” Dr. Keck said.
