Welcome to Texas A&M University Galveston Campus, a branch campus of Texas A&M University, offering marine and maritime studies degrees in Engineering, Liberal Arts, Biological and Physical Sciences, and Business and Transportation. With total campus enrollment of almost 2,100 students, of which nearly 200 are graduate students, Texas A&M University at Galveston‘s 130-acre Mitchell Campus is teeming with activity.

Texas A&M University Galveston Campus is committed to its mission of education, research and public service in the general field of marine resources. With its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, TAMUG offers students and faculty unique academic and research opportunities unavailable elsewhere.
