Texas A&M University at Galveston
Branch Campus of Texas A&M University
About
Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) is an ocean-oriented branch campus of Texas A&M University offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students enrolled at Texas A&M University at Galveston, known affectionately as 'Sea Aggies', share the benefits of students attending Texas A&M University (TAMU) campus in the city of College Station. TAMUG is located on Pelican Island, offering benefits for its maritime focused majors.
The campus's academic programs are ocean-focused. It is the home of the Texas A&M Maritime Academy and has a Navy-option-only NROTC unit on campus. (Marine Corps-option NROTC cadets must attend the main campus in College Station.) It also hosts a Coast Guard Auxiliary University Program (AUP) unit, which provides a pathway to commission into the Coast Guard upon graduation, as they do not have an ROTC program.
