THIS IS AN EXCITING PHASE OF YOUR LIFE; WE HOPE YOU MAKE A&M-COMMERCE A PART OF IT.
In 1889, William L. Mayo founded East Texas Normal College to provide Northeast Texas residents with opportunities for higher education. The university has since evolved from “Old ET” to join The Texas A&M University System, but Mayo’s creed of “ceaseless industry, fearless investigation, unfettered thought, and unselfish service to others” still lives on in the lives of A&M-Commerce students and alumni.
HERITAGE
A&M-Commerce is the second-largest member
of The Texas A&M University System.
A&M-Commerce is home to 9,000 students, three
academic colleges, 100 degree programs and four
satellite campuses throughout the Metroplex.
Chances are good that one of your favorite teachers
is a Lion. A&M-Commerce is one of the state’s
top producers of teachers, superintendents
and principals.
