About the College

Dr. Dickey & Dr. Colenda at Graduation Ceremony

The college’s first class began in 1977. Members of the charter class of 32 students received their Doctor of Medicine degrees through Texas A&M University in 1981. In 1999, the College of Medicine joined the newly created Texas A&M Health Science Center and to date, more than 1,400 physicians have received their medical training here.

The College of Medicine offers the M.D. degree, as well as a dual M.D./M.B.A. degree through a partnership with the Texas A&M University Mays Business School. The Graduate Program in Medical Sciences leading to a Ph.D. degree is administered within the College of Medicine and is granted through the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The M.D./Ph.D. degree is administered jointly by the College of Medicine and Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.

Current enrollment at the College of Medicine is approximately 400 medical students. The college will accept approximately 150 students for the fall of 2009 and an average of 15 graduate students per academic year, and has plans to incrementally increase the medical class size to 200 students.
