As a globally recognized authority in BRM, BRM Institute is excited to collaborate with Texas A&M to ensure their ITSM program develops students into strategic relationship builders who can align IT solutions with business goals.

· Drive measurable business value through IT initiatives.
Graduates with BRM skills are uniquely positioned for roles such as business analysts, IT consultants, relationship managers, and product managers. These roles demand a deep understanding of both technology and business strategy—skills that Texas A&M students develop through a BRM-focused curriculum and our Institute’s globally recognized methodologies.
