Benefits of the Texas A&M University Engineering Academy at Alamo Colleges District include:
- Being co-enrolled at Texas A&M University and the Alamo Colleges District. 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 at Northeast Lakeview College in the Alamo Colleges District. Math and science courses must also be taken at Northeast Lakeview College; all other core curriculum courses can be taken at any college in the Alamo Colleges District.
- Smaller student-faculty ratios in mathematics 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 in College Station. - Automatic admission to the first choice engineering major at the end of the second semester for engineering students who earn a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at both the Alamo Colleges District and Texas A&M and who complete the required coursework.
