Comparison of this institution to peer institutions in-state and out-of-state
Texas A&M University-Kingsville, as did most institutions in Texas, raised tuition and fees this past year. When compared with the other South Texas Universities, A&M Corpus, UTPAM, UT-Brownsville and A&M International, we are second behind A&M Corpus in terms of cost for tuition and fees. However, when considering all costs, tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation and personal expenses, we still provide the best value in South Texas being $1,500 dollars less expensive then the next lowest institution.
