"They were working with some sort of experiment in a small beaker and it over pressurized and the beaker exploded, and resulted in the minor injuries for them," said Texas A&M spokesperson Lane Stephenson.
The male student walked into the ambulance and the female student was taken on a stretcher. Both students were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Their injuries were described as minor.
Emergency crews responded to the scene. There is no sign outside of the building of any damage.
The school issued an emergency alert to student cell phones and local radio stations ordering an evacuation of the chemistry annex following the explosion. A half hour later, the school issued an alert saying the situation was stabilized.
