Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi
October 1998
Report Number 99-007
Overall Conclusion
Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi (University) has developed and is implementing its expansion plans to a four-year university in an effective manner. The population of full-time equivalent students grew 20 percent from 1995 to 4,700 students in 1997 and is expected to continue growing. The University appropriately used state funds and revenues from bond authorizations for construction projects managed by University staff, which totaled $6 million. The University is also effectively implementing its plans to meet student housing needs, to manage student fee increases, and to develop an intercollegiate athletic program. The University's actions indicate that it is doing a good job managing the increased funds and responsibility given to it when the Legislature passed legislation to expand its mission.
