'''The Texas A&M University System''' is a [[state university system]] in [[Texas]] and is one of the state's seven independent university systems.

The Texas A&M University System is one of the largest systems of higher education in the United States, with a budget of $6.3 billion. Through a statewide network of 11 universities, 8 state agencies, and the [[Campus of Texas A&M University#RELLIS Campus|RELLIS Campus]], the Texas A&M System educates more than 153,000 students and makes more than 22 million additional educational contacts through service and outreach programs each year. System-wide, research and development expenditures exceeded $996 million in FY 2017 and helped drive the state's economy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tamus.edu/about/|title=About|website=The Texas A&M University System|language=en-US|access-date=March 14, 2017}}</ref>

The system's flagship institution is [[Texas A&M University]] in [[College Station, Texas]]. The letters "A&M" (originally A.M.C. for "agricultural and mechanical college") are retained to honor the university's former designation.<ref>{{cite web |title=HISTORY OF TEXAS A&M |url=https://www.tamu.edu/about/history.html#:~:text=voluntary%20in%201965.-,College%20Renamed%20Texas%20A%26M%20University,for%20%22Agricultural%20and%20Mechanical.%22 |access-date=22 April 2025}}</ref>
