Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, often Texas A&M-CC, is one of the state's fastest growing four-year universities and the only university in America located on its very own island. Its campus is surrounded by natural wetlands and the newly restored beach across from campus provides a live on-site laboratory for measuring coastal processes. The university focuses on allied health, applied technology, arts and humanities, business administration, environmental studies and teacher education. This university is part of the Texas A&M University System.
