The Texas A&M System Board of Regents formally approved establishment of the A&M System’s health-related entities as Health Science Center (HSC) academic units in September 1997, and it officially began operation on Sept. 1, 1999.

Our university is a premier assembly of colleges devoted to educating health professionals and researchers of extraordinary competence and integrity. Our faculty, staff and students are united by a belief that all people, regardless of geography, economics or culture, deserve the benefits of compassionate care, superior science and exceptional health education.

The mission of the HSC is to dedicate the full measure of our resources and abilities to advancing the knowledge and technologies of our professions, and to bringing Texans the finest in health education, promotion and care. Because of our work, people’s lives are changed – across our state, around the nation and throughout the world.
