Notes:
  1. All new students to the Colleges of Architecture, Business and Engineering enter the lower level.
  2. The curriculum leading to a professional degree in architecture begins in the four-year undergraduate environmental design degree program. This degree provides entry to the Master of Architecture program.
  3. All students seeking elementary teacher certification will complete a baccalaureate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. There is no major in Secondary Teacher Education. All students seeking secondary certification (except those preparing to teach physical education or health) will major in an academic discipline other than education (i.e., mathematics, English, computer science, biology, etc.) and take appropriate course work for teacher certification in the College of Education and Human Development.
  4. Freshman applicants who have not decided on a major should indicate General Studies.
  5. Preveterinary medicine is not offered at Texas A&M. If you plan to apply to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program, you should select a major that would be a good vocational choice if you do not later enter the DVM program. Any major may be selected; however, some curricula more closely parallel courses that must be completed before applying to the DVM program than others.
  6. Requires PHYS 201 (1301 and 1101) rather than PHYS 218.
  7. Either ENGL 210 or COMM 203 required, not both.
  8. COMM 203 not required.
  9. Requires MATH 151, 152 not MATH 141, 142.
  10. Requires CHEM 102; MATH 141, 151.
  11. COMM 203 can substitute for ENGL 210.
  12. Follow Degree Track B for a B.A. degree and Degree Track D for a B.S. degree. COMM 203 not required.
  13. Select the one Degree Track, A or B, that fits your degree objective (see Degree Tracks).
