Notes

edit
  1. ^ Note that the seal contains the date 1876, the year in which Texas A&M began classes. This is not a discrepancy as both 1871 (the year the Texas Legislature appropriated funds to begin A&M's construction) and 1876 can be considered the dates of establishment depending on the definition used and the reference sourced (even within the Texas A&M University system).
  2. ^ UTRGV was formally founded in 2013 and entered full operation in 2015, following the merger of the University of Texas–Pan American (UTPA), founded in 1927, and the University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB), founded in 1991.
