Below are some of the benefits that you will enjoy in the Texas A&M Engineering Academies:
Supportive Learning Environment
- You will be co-enrolled at Texas A&M University and one of our partner colleges. As a student in the Engineering Academies, you will enroll in one engineering course through Texas A&M each semester that is taught by Texas A&M faculty at the partner college campus.
- Mathematics and science courses — which build the foundation for engineering skills — have smaller student-faculty ratios, allowing you to connect more closely with your professors. All other core curriculum courses can be taken through the partner college.
Affordable and Convenient Degree Pathway
- You will enjoy substantial financial savings. As a student in the Engineering Academies, you are charged tuition and fees by the institution through which each course is registered. Texas A&M coursework is registered in absentia, which allows for a deduction in fees for services not used by students enrolled in a course conducted away from the Texas A&M campus in College Station.
- You will have opportunities to participate in and benefit from student activities, organizations and resources at both institutions to the fullest extent possible.
Guaranteed Enrollment at Texas A&M University
- You’ll benefit from career exploration opportunities as you go through the Texas A&M general engineering curriculum.
- You are guaranteed placement into one of the 22 engineering majors through the Entry-to-a-Major process if you complete the required coursework and maintain at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the partner college and at least a 2.0 CGPA at Texas A&M.
- You are eligible for guaranteed placement into one of your top-choice engineering majors upon completion of automatic entry requirements.
