News release from Texas A&M: Texas A&M University is officially changing the names of eight academic units from “school” to “college,” following approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board earlier this year. The change, which goes into effect Aug. 15, was announced by Texas A&M Provost and Executive Vice President Dr. Alan Sams in an email to faculty. All seven units that transitioned to using the “school” label during the university’s academic realignment in 2022 will return to their prior status as colleges. In addition, the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts — created during the same realignment — will become the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts. “I appreciate your patience with the phased transitions as we graduated students this summer under the outgoing names so that we begin the fall semester with the now fully transitioned colleges,” Sams said in the email. The updated names of all affected units are as follows: • College of Architecture • College of Education and Human Development • College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences • College of Medicine • College of Dentistry • College of Nursing • Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy • College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts Among other changes approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree program will return to the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences after being moved under the College of Arts and Sciences during the 2022 realignment.
