Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 78,321 enrolled students, Texas A&M University-College Station is the 8th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,577 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Lone Star College System (0.16/1k); Dallas College (0.60/1k); The University of Texas at Austin (1.95/1k); Houston Community College (0.32/1k); University of Houston (5.54/1k); University of North Texas (3.61/1k); The University of Texas at Arlington (2.34/1k); Texas Tech University (3.66/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (Arizona State University Campus Immersion is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Texas A&M University-College Station rose from 336 to 413 (+23%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (137 to 203), Burglary (55 to 78) and Aggravated Assault (34 to 42). Falling over the same period: Rape (58 to 39) and Fondling (42 to 32).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Texas A&M University-College Station
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 8 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Rape, Fondling, Aggravated Assault, Robbery, Arson and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 3 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Texas A&M University-College Station sits on price and outcomes
At $21,315, Texas A&M University-College Station's reported average net price is cheaper than 66% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- six-year earnings to median debt
- $17,876
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $12,784, while those above $110,000 record $30,660 - roughly 2.4 times as much. A published average of $21,315 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $59,386, roughly 2.8 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
