ABOUT THE CENTERS AND INSTITUTES AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

Texas A&M University centers and institutes are dedicated to addressing a wide variety of challenges and opportunities. They facilitate research, teaching, and creative work at Texas A&M University, encourage learning and teaching, and pursue outreach and engagement with the community. Some of these organizations specialize in research, teaching, or service, and others carry-out work in two or three of these areas to advance their particular missions.

This webpage lists centers and institutes currently operating at Texas A&M University, TAMU-Galveston, the Texas A&M University Health Science Center, and Texas A&M University System agencies. Each listing presents basic information about the center or institute, including contact information and links to web pages giving broader presentations of the organization’s scope, mission and work.
