Texas A&M University–Texarkana is a public university in Texarkana, Texas, United States. It is part of the Texas A&M University System.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $12,637 average annual net price and low median debt of $12,500 make this one of the more affordable paths to a Texas A&M System degree, which carries real regional recognition. However, the 31% graduation rate and 60% freshman retention rate are serious red flags — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $39,200 a decade out suggest limited financial upside. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan, strong self-motivation, and need an affordable commuter option in the Texarkana area.
