Texas A&M University–Kingsville is a public research university located in Kingsville, Texas and is one of the campuses comprised by the Texas A&M University System. The university has programs in engineering, agriculture, wildlife, music, and the sciences and developed the nation's first doctoral degree in bilingual education.

Texas A&M University–Kingsville is the oldest continuously operating public institution of higher learning in South Texas.

A 1967 name change to Texas A&I University marked another transition. The university became a member of the Texas A&M University System in 1989 and changed its name to Texas A&M University–Kingsville in 1993.[3]

The school has been continuously accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) since 1928.[4][5]

The architecture of the main campus reflects a Spanish Mission Revival style. The school’s first president, R. B. Cousins, decided that the campus should reflect the people and culture of the area. He established the tradition of having each of the buildings on campus reflect a Spanish Mission Revival style of architecture. Nearly every building on the campus has the red tile roofs, towers and the curve gabled parapet.

The first building constructed, Manning Hall, contains an eastern tower that is a stylized version of the tower at Mission San José. The tower on the west is a replica of the tower at Mission Concepcion. The curved gable parapet represents the Alamo, the famous former mission located in San Antonio.[48]

In addition to the main campus, the University operates several satellite campuses in and around the main campus. This includes the agricultural research area to the west of campus, the TAMUK Rodeo Arena and livestock area to the north of campus, and the Tio and Janell Kleberg Wildlife Research Park adjacent to the northwestern entrance of the main campus on Corral Avenue.

The university recently developed a new master plan for the campus. In May 2010, details of the plan were released to the public.[49] This plan calls for a multimillion-dollar improvement of the current campus infrastructure along with the development of several new buildings, walkways, green spaces and parking additions. In addition to new and improved structures, the campus will undergo a campus beautification project that will include new signs, lighting, landscaping and remodeling of existing outdoor facilities. Although some of these projects have been recently completed, the majority of projects will commence in the fall of 2010.[49][50]

In addition, Texas A&M-Kingsville maintains two large research farms known as the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Citrus Center in Weslaco, Texas. Scientists and researchers at the Citrus Center seek to find innovative solutions for the global citrus industry while developing variations in citrus (such as the Ruby Red, Star Ruby and Rio Red grapefruit varieties) through cutting edge scientific techniques.[45]
