Texas A&M University–Kingsville is a public research university in Kingsville, Texas, United States. It is the southernmost campus of the Texas A&M University System. The university developed the nation's first doctoral degree in bilingual education. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity" and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $10,204/year after aid and a modest $15,873 in median debt, this school is genuinely affordable, but the 46% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start actually finish — a real concern worth asking about before enrolling. The 67% freshman retention rate suggests a noticeable number of students leave after year one, so it's worth researching what support systems are in place. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear plan to stay on track, particularly in fields like engineering or agriculture where the school has regional strengths.
