Texas A&M Health Science Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Texas A&M Health Science Center, a component of The Texas A&M University System, is a premier assembly of colleges devoted to educating health professionals and researchers of extraordinary competence and integrity. Its faculty, staff and students are united by a belief that all people—regardless of geography, economics or culture—deserve the benefits of compassionate care, superior science and exceptional health education.
Established in 1999, the HSC reaches across all parts of Texas through its six components: Baylor College of Dentistry at Dallas; the College of Medicine campuses at Temple and College Station; the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences campuses at Dallas, College Station and Houston; the Institute of Biosciences and Technology at Houston; the School of Rural Public Health at College Station; and the latest addition, the Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy at Kingsville. Southern regions of the state also are further served by the Coastal Bend Health Education Center, which covers the 19-county region surrounding Corpus Christi and Kingsville, and the South Texas Center at McAllen.
The HSC received full accreditation in December 2002 from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate, master’s, doctoral and professional degrees.
