TAMU at MC students in lecture hall

Did you know the Texas Workforce Commission expects "25% growth in Engineering jobs statewide in the next decade?" Get started on the engineering path today with the TAMU-Concho Engineering Academy at MC!

The Texas A&M - Concho Engineering Academy at Midland College is unlike any other transfer program, giving students the opportunity to become part of the Texas A&M College of Engineering from day one!

As a co-enrolled student at both Midland College and Texas A&M University, you’ll benefit from small class sizes and affordable tuition while taking math, science, and core curriculum courses at MC. Meanwhile, you’ll be earning engineering credits from Texas A&M faculty right here on the MC campus.

Students can spend one to two years at Midland College before transitioning to Texas A&M University in College Station to complete their bachelor’s degree.

Why wait? Enroll today and launch your engineering career with the strength of two great institutions behind you!

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.

“I had planned to go to Texas A&M for either engineering or biology. Then I heard about the A&M Engineering Academy at Midland College. I discovered that I could start my general A&M engineering courses at Midland College. This was truly the best path for me. I was given the opportunity to stay at home, take college courses at MC, enroll in engineering courses through Texas A&M and decide which engineering discipline I wanted to pursue, which ultimately ended up being biomedical engineering.”

- Andrew Sanchez, TAMU Biomedical Engineer Graduate
