Texas A&M University officially acquires Texas Wesleyan University law school
Texas A&M University officially has its law school.
Chancellor John Sharp announced Tuesday the complete acquisition of Texas Wesleyan University's law school in Fort Worth, which is now called Texas A&M University School of Law.
A&M paid $73.2 million for the acquisition.
"In creating the Texas A&M University School of Law, we are finally expanding the Texas A&M brand into the field of law with a focus on new areas of growth like patents and commercialization," Sharp said in a press release. "This long-sought entry into the field of law by the state's first public institution of higher learning, with its land-grant university perspective for innovative service to the public, will have a profound impact on the future of Texas."
