Medical Science PhD Program

Texas A&M University is ranked among the top 10 public universities in the United States and number one in Texas for research expenditures, according to the National Science Foundation, and the graduate faculty exemplify the highest standards of teaching, research, and scholarship. By joining the Texas A&M College of Medicine, you will not only be immersed in exciting research but also become part of the Aggie family, a unique and life-long experience, full of traditions and a network of leaders around the world.

Our diverse student body comes from across the nation and the world to become independent scientists and develop professional and transferable skills through top research projects, professional development, and other campus resources that prepare them to become leaders in a broad range of scientific fields. Being part of our Ph.D. program allows our students to select one of our two campuses: the traditional Aggie experience in Bryan/College Station or the Institute of Biosciences and Technology, located in the heart of Houston's world-famous Texas Medical Center. The two branches provide different cultures and environments, both with excellent resources in which to pursue graduate studies in the medical sciences.

The Core Values of Texas A&M drive the foundation of how we approach education, patient treatment, and research. We, along with our clinical affiliates share the responsibility for evaluation of the learning environment in order to identify positive and negative influences on professional standards, develop and conduct strategies to enhance positive and mitigate negative influences, and identify and promptly correct violations of professional standards.

We embrace all opportunities to improve our professional environment among all faculty, staff, and students.

We were created to boldly serve. For more than 40 years, this mission has not wavered. Our purpose is to treat those among us with the greatest need, and in areas often forgotten by others. We’re challenging age-old beliefs about how medicine is delivered, where it’s delivered. Connected by our values and staunch desire to do more, we’re leading the way for a better future for all.
