Established in 1999, the HSC reaches across all parts of Texas through its seven components:

- the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences campuses at Dallas, College Station and Houston
- the Institute of Biosciences and Technology at Houston
- the School of Rural Public Health at College Station
- the Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy at Kingsville

The Texas A&M Health Science Center received full accreditation in December 2002 from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate, master’s, doctoral and professional degrees.
