Message from the Dean

Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences — the academic heart of Texas A&M University–Kingsville, and your home for exploration, discovery, and achievement. We believe your education goes beyond textbooks and lectures. You’ll be encouraged to ask big questions, challenge yourself, and apply what you learn in real-world settings — from research labs and creative studios to internships and service projects. Our faculty are here not just to teach, but to mentor, guide, and support you as you grow in confidence and purpose. We know that college is more than just classes — it’s a time to figure out who you are and who you want to become. That’s why everything we do in the College of Arts and Sciences is built around helping you succeed — in your studies, in your career, and in life. You’ve worked hard to get here, and we’re proud to walk alongside you as you take your next steps. You’ll find challenges here, but also opportunities. You’ll meet people who inspire you, professors who push you, and a community that believes in your potential. We’re excited to see all that you will accomplish. Welcome to your journey. Welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Scott Jones, Interim Dean
