Presidential Search

Welcome to the Texas A&M University Presidential Search Committee website.

A nationwide search is under way to identify and attract the best individual to lead Texas A&M, a world-renowned teaching, research and service institution, one that is also ever mindful of its proud heritage and rich traditions.

A broad-based Presidential Search Committee has been formed, comprising members of the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, former students and local community leaders.

This website will serve as an interactive communications tool for your comments, ideas and suggestions throughout the presidential search process. It also will be updated as new information about the presidential search becomes available.

Thank you for visiting this website. Again, we welcome your feedback.

About Texas A&M University

Texas A&M University, home of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, is one of the largest institutions of higher learning in the nation, with an enrollment of more than 48,000.

Through its 10 colleges, Texas A&M offers more than 120 undergraduate degrees, approximately 250 master's and doctoral degrees, and one professional degree, the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Its 2,800-member faculty is nationally and internationally renowned, with winners of the Nobel Prize, Congressional Gold Medal, National Medal of Science, Pulitzer Prize, World Food Prize and other top awards among its ranks. The university is nationally ranked for enrollment of National Merit Scholars, its investment in research and value of its endowment.

Research conducted at Texas A&M represents an annual investment of more than $582 million, which ranks third nationally for universities without a medical school, and underwrites approximately 3,500 sponsored projects. That research creates new knowledge that provides basic, fundamental and applied contributions resulting in many cases in economic benefits to the state, nation and world.

Texas A&M is one of a select few institutions to hold triple federal designation as a land-, sea- and space-grant university. The university also operates a marine-oriented branch campus in Galveston and an engineering-oriented branch campus in the Persian Gulf State of Qatar, the latter fully funded by Qatar Foundation. Additionally, it operates centers in Italy, Mexico and Costa Rica.

Texas A&M University is the first public institution of higher learning established in Texas, opening for classes on Oct. 4, 1876.
