A Conversation with Patrick
What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending East Texas A&M?
At ETAMU, you will experience a big-world education within a small-town setting. You will enjoy the friendliness and homeliness of rural America while acquiring the skills and knowledge you need for life around the globe.
