Texas A&M School of Public Health

What Texas A&M School of Public Health does

Texas A&M School of Public Health is a public academic institution founded in 1998 and operating as a component school of Texas A&M University, a state university system. The school delivers public health education from undergraduate through doctoral levels, offering a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, six Master of Public Health concentrations (delivered both residentially and online), Master of Health Administration programs (resident and executive formats), PhD programs in Health Services Research and Health Education, a Doctor of Public Health, dual degrees, and graduate certificates. It maintains continuous CEPH accreditation for all public health programs and continuous CAHME accreditation for the MHA tracks since 2008. The institution serves students and healthcare professionals across three Texas campuses (College Station headquarters, San Antonio, McAllen) and through online distance education reaching all 254 Texas counties with a student body representing 20+ countries.

The school's core technology assets include applied research platforms such as the mRAPiD Van for real-time chemical air pollutant detection in disaster response, mobile health platforms, virtual reality applications for health interventions, and the patented Stand2Learn sit-stand desk system with multiple issued US patents for reducing sedentary behavior. Research output is anchored by four specialized centers (Center for Worker Health, Center for Health Equity & Evaluation Research, Center for Community Health & Aging, Center for Health & Nature) plus the Texas A&M Telehealth Institute, with cumulative research expenditures exceeding $100M since inception. The school holds US patents around ergonomic furniture and air pollution detection, reflecting applied translational research rather than core AI/ML technology.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: tuition and fees from degree programs (online MPH priced at $17,727 resident and $38,069 nonresident for the full 45-credit program), federal and state research grants and contracts from agencies including NIH, CDC, and NIEHS, and philanthropic contributions through alumni giving programs. As a state-funded public institution, the school is government-owned with no external private investors; it is governed by the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents and relies on state appropriations, tuition, grants, and donations. It is ranked the #1 public health school in Texas by U.S. News and World Report and the largest in the state per ASPPH.
