From the President

The world of today, and surely that of tomorrow, is characterized as one of constant change, uncertainty and greater connectivity through technology. It is also a world of great beauty and bounty; a world that has forever been impacted by the creativity of humans. Programs at West Texas A&M University have been designed to prepare individuals to thrive in this dynamic, global environment, to appreciate the creativity of humans and to acquire the skills to contribute to ongoing creative processes.

At WTAMU, we provide a distinctive mix of faculty excellence and individualized attention to create a superb learning environment in which you can excel. By studying with us, you will learn to critically analyze issues, appropriately apply technology and effectively communicate your ideas. You will have the opportunity to study agriculture, business, education, the fine arts, nursing, political science, the natural sciences or any of the dozens of other fields we offer.

At West Texas A&M University you will be challenged to learn, to develop an appreciation of the arts, literature and different cultures, and to grow intellectually and socially. At WTAMU, your intellectual and personal growth will take place not only in the classroom but also in the full array of social, athletic and extracurricular activities that are provided on campus.

I invite you to join our community of learners: West Texas A&M University.

Sincerely,

J. Patrick O’Brien, Ph.D.
