Take advantage of the Engineering Academy program because without a doubt it is a success.
Texas A&M Engineering Academy students at Northeast Lakeview College work toward a degree while saving money.Becoming an engineer isn’t easy. It takes intelligence, hard work and real grit. But it doesn’t have to be unaffordable.
More than 2,300 students from Austin, Brenham, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Midland, San Antonio and Bryan-College Station have enrolled in the academy program since its launch in 2015. The statistics on students who have taken advantage of this program are encouraging: 33 percent of them are the first generation in their family to earn a college degree. Nineteen percent are female, and 40 percent are Hispanic.
None of that has proven to be true. In fact, they’ve done great. The cumulative grade point average — 3.2 — for the 256 students who have earned their Texas A&M engineering degrees via our engineering academies is as good and sometimes higher than that of our traditional engineering students.
