Texas A&M-Concho Engineering Academy

The Texas Workforce Commission expects, "25% growth in Engineering jobs statewide in the next decade."

The Texas A&M - Concho Engineering Academy @ MC is unlike traditional transfer programs. Students admitted into the Engineering Academy are Texas A&M College of Engineering students from day one!

Students are co-enrolled at Midland College and Texas A&M. While taking math, science, and core curriculum courses at MC, engineering academy students are enrolled and taking engineering courses from Texas A&M faculty on the MC campus.

Students can spend a minimum of one year or a maximum of two years co-enrolled at Midland College before transitioning full time to Texas A&M University in College Station to finish their bachelor's degree.

Why enroll in the Engineering Academy?

Program Benefits

Smaller student-faculty ratios in math and science courses, which build the foundation in engineering.
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 reduction 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 3.75 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at both Midland College and Texas A&M and who complete the required coursework.
Participation in all student services, student activities, student organizations, etc., and to the fullest extent possible at both institutions.
