Located in Laredo, TX, a crossroads of culture and commerce, Texas A&M International University is a major regional educational institution of choice in the State’s fastest-growing demographic area and a proud Member of The Texas A&M University System. Home to over 7,000 students each academic semester, TAMIU offers over 70 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees.

In August of 1970, students were accepted at what was then called Texas A&I University at Laredo. While initially a "center" under then-Texas A&I University, this was the start of a legacy of higher education for South Texas. The focus then was to address a demand in teacher education and business disciplines. Texas A&I University at Laredo was organized under the upper-level concept of higher education, offering only junior and senior level course work. This approach provided a local bachelors degree opportunity for area residents. The upper-level University was later expanded to include graduate degree programs.

In September 1977, the University became Laredo State University, and its "center" status was officially removed in 1987. As the University grew, its scope widened and an expanded faculty was recruited to deliver new programs. The University became a Member of The Texas A&M University System on September 1, 1989 and was named Texas A&M International University in 1993.

The 74th Texas Legislature approved an expansion to four-year status in the Fall of 1995, further authorizing the University to develop joint degree programs with Mexican and Canadian institutions of higher education. Additional authorization since has permitted the development of doctoral level programs.

1995 was a watershed year for the University as it welcomed its first freshmen and sophomore students, inaugurated a newly constructed 300-acre campus in northeast Laredo and marked its 25th anniversary.
