It is the home of the Texas Maritime Academy and has a Navy-option-only NROTC unit on campus. (Marine Corps-option NROTC cadets must attend the main campus in College Station, TX.) The Texas Maritime Academy cadets of Texas A&M at Galveston get hands-on training on board the TS Texas Clipper III, which sails every summer on a training cruise. The ship is berthed at the campus when not at sea. Students attending Texas A&M University at Galveston have many benefits of students attending the College Station campus.
