West Texas A&M University
West Texas A&M University, established in Canyon in 1910, is a member of The Texas
A&M University System and the northernmost senior institution of higher education in the state. WTAMU serves a five-state region and is the most accessible and affordable university for many residents of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma as well as Texas.
Students are given the choice of more than 60 undergraduate and 40 graduate degree programs, including tradition-rich programs in teacher preparation, music and dance, agriculture, business and nursing. But the world is changing, and so is WTAMU. New and innovative programs in communication disorders, environmental science, equine industry, instructional technology, integrated pest management, mass communications, music therapy and pre-law studies are gaining national attention, and an Honors Program for students interested in more intense academic challenges is growing rapidly.
Traditional classroom instruction is complemented by state-of-the-art technology which
links the University—and its students—to the world. A leader in distance learning, West Texas A&M offers two complete graduate degree programs and approximately 100 courses online each semester.
The University’s physical landscape is also changing. A new Event Center, with a seating
capacity for 6,000, opened in January 2002, students are enjoying a newly renovated food court and recreational pool, and work has begun on a $30 million Fine Arts Complex that is scheduled for completion in 2005.
West Texas A&M University students, a diverse population of approximately 7,000 representing more than 30 states and 30 countries, enjoy a tree-shaded 135-acre residential campus, a safe and friendly environment, small classes, personal attention from faculty and staff, career-oriented opportunities, and all of the other amenities—in and out of the classroom—that make up the total university experience.
