History
Texas A&M University-Kingsville grew out of the teacher college or "normal school" movement that swept Texas and the nation in the early 1900s. Chartered in 1917 but not opened until 1925 because of America's entry into World War I, the University is the oldest continuously operating public institution of higher learning in South Texas.

Research
The goal of undergraduate research is to involve students with the sense of excitement that comes from working to answer important questions in their field.
