Benefits of the Texas A&M-Concho Engineering Academy at Midland College include:
- Being coenrolled at Texas A&M University and Midland College. Engineering students in the Engineering Academy program enroll in one engineering course through Texas A&M each semester. These courses are taught by Texas A&M faculty on the Midland College campus. All math, science and other core curriculum courses are taken through Midland College;
- Smaller student-faculty ratios in math and science courses, which build the foundation in engineering;
- Opportunities to participate in student activities and organizations at both institutions to the fullest extent possible;
- Substantial financial savings! Engineering students in the Engineering Academy program 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;
- Guaranteed entry to one of their top choices of engineering major at the end of the second semester for engineering students who earn a minimum 3.75 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at both Midland College and Texas A&M andafter the required Entry to a Major (ETAM) coursework is completed.
