Welcome Home! You have served your country, now let us serve you. Whether you are Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, a Veteran, or a family member, we thank you for your service to our nation and promise to make your experience at Texas A&M University-Texarkana a rewarding one.
Our Veteran Services Staff is prepared to help you achieve your academic goals as well as facilitate your transition from military to civilian life. Earning a coveted degree from Texas A&M University-Texarkana will prove to be a valuable asset in securing civilian employment.
The Veteran Services Center serves as your One Stop Shop for coordination of all your academic activities, progress, and needs.
