Four Texas A&M Health academic units change names

Four academic units in the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) have adjusted their identities from school to college, effective today.

These units include the College of Dentistry, College of Medicine, College of Nursing and Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy.

The changes were approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board this spring after General (Ret.) Mark A. Welsh III, president of Texas A&M, asked each unit to consider their designation as a school or college as part of an assessment of the university’s academic structure and other topics.

The College of Dentistry, College of Medicine, College of Nursing and Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy briefly rebranded to schools in fall 2022.

All future graduating students will do so under the new college designations.
