The Texas A&M University System

Texas A&M University-Central Texas

Texas A&M University-Central Texas is located in Killeen, and is one of the newest universities in The Texas A&M University System, achieving independent status in May 2009. It opened in 1999 as a public upper-level institution that offers bachelor’s and master’s programs at several convenient sites, including area community colleges, high schools and Fort Hood, the nation’s largest active-duty military installation. The Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood Metropolitan Statistical Area has a population of more than 350,000.

Full-time enrollment at A&M-Central Texas continues to grow. Many students attend part time because they are serving in the military or have family and career commitments. A new campus is planned for 662 acres on land provided under an agreement with Fort Hood.
