Students at Texas A&M University at Galveston will invariably tell you that the best thing about TAMUG is the small school environment – classes are small and students know their professors and classmates. Texas A&M University at Galveston is an ocean-oriented campus offering academic degrees, research, continuing education and public service in  sciences, engineering, business and transportation. Because TAMUG is a branch campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, students receive their degrees, and the Aggie Ring, from Texas A&M University.
