Original ETNC campus in Cooper in 1890
 
ETSTC Heritage Garden

The history of Texas A&M University–Commerce commenced in 1889 with its establishment as East Texas Normal College (ETNC) in Cooper by Kentucky native William L. Mayo as a private teachers' college based on Normal principles.[1][7] ETNC relocated to Commerce after its original campus was destroyed in a fire in July 1894.[1][8][9][10] One of Commerce's chief advantages was that it was well connected by rail, boasting regular service on the St. Louis Southwestern Railway of Texas ("Cotton Belt") to Dallas, Sherman, and Texarkana and on the Texas Midland Railroad to Paris, Ennis, and Houston.[10]

ETNC was renamed East Texas State Normal College in 1917 after it was acquired by the State of Texas and transformed into a public college.[8][9][11] In 1923, it was renamed East Texas State Teachers College to define its purpose "more clearly",[8][12][13] and in 1935, it began its graduate education program.[12][8]

The institution was renamed East Texas State College in 1957, after the Texas Legislature recognized its broadening scope beyond teacher education.[12][8][14][11] Following the inauguration of the institution's first doctoral program in 1962,[12][8] its name was changed to East Texas State University (ETSU) in 1965.[12][11] It integrated in 1964 when ordered to do so by the board of regents.[15] ETSU obtained a separate board of regents in 1969,[16] and the approval to open a branch campus in Texarkana in 1971.[17]

While the student body shrank in size in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it became increasingly diverse as older nontraditional students, ethnic and racial minorities, and international students all grew in numbers.[18] The economic downturn in Texas in the mid-1980s seriously threatened the university, leading to proposals to close it entirely before a bus trip with 450 supporters trekked to the State Capitol in a show of support that ultimately secured its continued existence.[19][20][21] In 1996, ETSU was admitted into the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) and renamed Texas A&M University–Commerce (A&M–Commerce).[14][22] ETSU's former branch campus in Texarkana was renamed Texas A&M University–Texarkana and admitted into TAMUS as a separate university.[23]

McDowell Administration Building

ETAMU is historically committed to making higher education accessibility affordable to those in need.

For the 2014–2015 academic year, in-state tuition rates for freshmen students taking 15 credits each semester typically were about $7000 per year or $236 per credit hour.[49] As of 2019, the university has an endowment of $22 million.[4]
