Texas A&M University-Kingsville is a regional university with a multicultural student body that is 62 percent Hispanic and includes students from 35 states and 43 foreign countries. The university has nationally recognized programs in engineering, agriculture, wildlife and the sciences and is known for developing the nation's first doctoral degree in bilingual education. Founded in 1925 as South Texas State Teachers College, the university's name change in 1929 to Texas College of Arts and Industries signaled the broadening of its mission. 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 embraced its current name, reflecting that membership, in September 1993.
