Introduction. 1  Living things are made up of atoms, but in most cases, those atoms arenât just floating around individually. Instead, theyâre usually interacting with other atoms (or groups of atoms). 2  For instance, atoms might be connected by strong bonds and organized into molecules or crystals.
When including the two branch campuses, total enrollment for Texas A&M stands at a record 52,585 â based on the inclusion of Texas A&M University at Qatarâs 2010 fall enrollment â but that is subject to change slightly when this fallâs TAMUQ figures become available.
What does A&M stand for? Agricultural and Mechanical, originally, but today the letters no longer explicitly stand for anything. When Texas A&M was opened on Oct. 4, 1876 as the state's first public institution of higher education, it was called the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, or A&M for short.
