Degree Information

Academic Common Market

The purpose of the Academic Common Market (ACM) is to share specified academic degree programs between states located at southern public colleges and universities. This is accomplished through an exchange of students across borders at in-state rates. The motivation for this cooperation continues to be: 1) eliminating unnecessary duplication among the states, in that it is impractical for any institution or single state to develop or maintain degree programs in every field of knowledge, 2) to support existing degree programs that have the capacity to serve additional students, and 3) to provide access and encourage movement across state lines for programs not available in a student’s home state.

Texas A&M University is a member of the Academic Common Market/Electronic Campus (ACM/EC). The ACM/EC enables students to pursue eligible degree programs via distance or e-learning without leaving their home state, work and other commitments.

For more information on the Academic Common Market, contact the Office of Graduate Studies at 302 Jack K. Williams Administration Building or call (979) 845-3631.
