TAMUC considering rebranding
#11
(07-18-2024, 02:51 PM)fmsoa Wrote: The sad truth is no matter how they rebrand, it wouldn't make an iota of difference for schools like TAMUC or TAMUCC. They are, and will always be treated like a bastard child when ALMOST all resources are pouring towards the favorite son in College Station.

TAMU has an enrollment of over 70,000 (and not slowing down) while campuses like Commerce and San Antonio have yet to exceed 10,000, while Corpus Christi barely hitting 10K. And they would rather build satellite campuses to College Station on Galveston and McAllen.

TBH the President's goal of wanting to become "a big dog" with national reach - I just don't think it's realistic under "Commerce" or "Dallas." They almost shut down a couple times in the past few decades. They just don't have the funding, the draw, the reach... They have structural and operational problems now (I had went through three different advisors in one seven-week semester because two of them quit.) I know the alumni keep touting their history they don't want erased - but I mean they just don't have the kind of institutional history that captures the imagination of people outside the region. They're a safety school in a system with an actual "Big Dog" that will never allow them to become big enough to draw money away from the flagship. 
It was the fourth fastest growing uni in all of Texas last year. With an enrollment cliff coming in 2025, I kinda think this is as big as this dog is ever getting.
