We've got our reasons
Set foot on our campus, and you'll feel the difference at Texas A&M.
Big support. We may be big, but we're a close-knit group. You'll have access to a strong support system of peers and faculty mentors, such as Dr. César Malavé. Plus, you'll benefit from taking the same classes and perhaps even living in the same residence halls as other first-year student engineers involved in Engineering Living-Learning Communities.
Big respect. We take our students seriously. The minute you arrive on campus, you're an engineer. From freshman design projects like building a robot to courses on engineering basics, our student engineers quickly learn exactly what engineers do and how they go about doing it. And you won't learn just from textbooks, either. You'll get to work with our industry partners on real-world projects, too.
Big challenge. Let's face it: Majoring in engineering won't be easy. But we can help you make the most of your time as a student engineer. And if you need an extra challenge to achieve your goals, the Engineering Scholars Program may be for you. Meet leaders in engineering and business, and find options you might never have considered that may lead to an unforgettable one-on-one project with one of our renowned professors.
Big Aggie Network. Once an Aggie, always an Aggie, we say. As an Aggie engineer, you'll become a member of a huge family of fellow Aggies all over the world who support and help one another like no other university alumni.
Big opportunity. We'll encourage you to participate in co-ops and internships where you'll work full-time in industry while continuing your education. You'll put the theories you learned in class directly into practice with a real company, putting you on the fast track to employment after graduation.
Big financial aid. College costs money, and you may wonder how you'll pay for it. About three-quarters of Texas A&M students receive financial aid. Scholarships, grants, awards and waivers accounted for more than a third of the $420 million in total financial aid in 2005-06. Loans are also available.
