Intercollegiate Faculty

Texas A&M University has established the concept of an intercollegiate faculty with expressed goals of (a) fostering development and communication in disciplinary fields represented by faculty members in different departments and colleges, (b) utilizing faculty expertise in specific areas to strengthen emerging disciplinary programs and (c) overseeing the academic administration of graduate degree programs in a particular discipline.

To have access to an intercollegiate faculty’s degree programs, a graduate student must be admitted to that program and a member of that faculty must serve as chair, or co-chair, of the student’s advisory committee.

Intercollegiate faculties have been formed in agribusiness, biotechnology, engineering systems management, food science and technology, genetics, nutrition, materials science and engineering, molecular and environmental plant sciences, toxicology, reproductive biology, and water management and hydrological science.
