Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

Academics are very tough here especially in the corps. Everyone always strives for excellence! It's pretty tough getting into this school, so you'd see my point in how much they want you to be academically successful.

It is a tough road, especially for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) students. However, you will come out of it very prepared and ready to tackle the challenges of the workforce. The classes are not exponentially hard, it is possible. If you are dedicated and motivated enough you should have no problem! It is enough of a challenge to have your degree mean something to you when you graduate.

They are hard and challenging but that makes the class more interesting and easier to pay attention.

Despite the rigorous work (especially freshman year, which I'm in right now), the professors helps us actually learn something. This is rare in most high schools across the nation. So take advantage of what Aggieland offers from its academia.

I am a Special Education major here at A&M so things are a little bit different for me. When I was in my basic freshman classes the classes were typically large lecture hall type classes. I had to actually apply to get into the "professional stages" of my major where only 30 people a semester are accepted. After I was accepted into the professional stages, the classes became a lot smaller. My professors know my classmates and I all by name and there has been only a couple issues throughout the couple years.

The academics of the engineering department are of the highest standards in Texas and in the US. I am a Nuclear Engineering major. The requirements of the academics here are challenging but extremely rewarding with opportunity and experience. My department leans more towards research in the various fields of nuclear engineering. It's well known that Texas A&M is a more research-oriented school, however, we have recently been recognized as one the top 5 school in the nation that companies come to in order to find future employees.

Many classes are large and require a bit of work. It is all manageable and doable if you go to class, pay attention and take care of business. Almost all professors are more than willing to talk to you about their class, and many bigger classes also have a student lead study group that meets regularly during the week. and many

The academics here definitely reflect a "big school" feel. My intro business and engineering lectures had 100+ people in them. I've only had one class ever with less that 40. I personally don't mind though. You aren't swimming in an ocean. Professors are very encouraging and constantly ask for people to see them in office hours. it's almost as if no one goes to talk to them. I've made a point to meet my professors individually and it has made a huge impact. They know my name, are willing to help with problems, and slightly more lenient in general. While the academic culture is very different in each college, no one ever seems to be competing for grades. We're not here to one up each-other, we all want to help each-other out and succeed together. This is very much a reflection of the Aggie Honor Code and the values instilled to help out your fellow Aggies. Not cheating, but realizing that everyone is struggling together.
