ABOUT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Texas A&M University, often called A&M or TAMU, is a coeducational public research university located in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M, the first public institution of higher education in Texas, opened in 1876 as an agricultural and mechanical college. In 1963, the Texas Legislature renamed the school, Texas A&M University, to reflect the institution's expanded roles and academic offerings. The letters "A&M" no longer have any explicit meaning but are retained as a link to the university's past. The nickname "Aggie" refers to students, alumni, and sports teams of Texas A&M.
There was a branch school of Texas A&M University in Japan several years ago. But there are not so many Japanese people in tamu now.
