Welcome to Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), a proud Member of The Texas A&M University System. Our campus is one of the State's fastest-growing institutions of higher education and has been a vibrant part of South Texas' dynamic growth and vitality for 55 years.

TAMIU is a nationally ranked and regionally focused university with a rich and proud history of delivering transformative educational opportunities that change the trajectory of our students, their families, and South Texas. The University combines an individualized educational experience with the resources of one of the world’s largest and most prestigious university systems, all located on a vibrant campus at an international crossroad for trade and culture. Our mission at TAMIU is straightforward yet powerful: to transform lives through higher education.

Whether you are a first-generation college student, a transfer student, an international student, or a working professional, TAMIU welcomes you. Our rich University community will provide the support and encouragement needed to ensure student success. This mission as a social catalyst empowers South Texas by connecting regional needs with national and global opportunities. For 55 years, TAMIU has powered the progress and prosperity of South Texas by providing a knowledgeable and skilled workforce to drive economic growth and expand opportunities.

Together with our community and industry partners, the University supports thousands of local jobs and creates bright paths for our students to succeed academically, professionally, and personally. In this way, TAMIU is not just a place of learning, but an engine of opportunity for South Texas and beyond.

Over 9,000 students pursue their dreams of higher education at TAMIU. They are preparing to become entrepreneurs, teachers, and public servants who will lead the economic future of our region.

TAMIU students have something in common... they are ambitious. They want to go beyond and invest in their futures, and that growth mindset will ensure that they are successful now and throughout their lives.

The University must match that ambition, and so we continue to push our TAMIU community to do more, to go beyond. And while we celebrate our 55th anniversary, I cannot wait to see what the coming years will bring for TAMIU.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to growing our academic programs, strengthening workforce partnerships, and positioning TAMIU as a driving force for innovation, talent development, and economic opportunity in South Texas and beyond.
