The Texas A&M University College of Engineering has more than 20 degree options. With so many options, we don't ask you to decide on a major during the first year.
Instead, you'll follow a common general engineering curriculum. This curriculum helps you to get started while exploring all our degree options.
You will complete specific coursework required for the Entry to a Major (ETAM) process. You may complete this coursework as early as your second semester. After finishing the courses required for ETAM, you'll let us know which majors interest you.
How Entry to a Major Works
The Entry to a Major process uses a priority method that places you in your highest preferred major possible based on your academic performance, your ETAM application and the program’s capacity.
There’s also an automatic entry pathway to your first-choice major if you complete the required courses for Entry to a Major and maintain the required automatic entry cumulative GPA defined for your class.
During each ETAM cycle, all College of Engineering majors will accept applications (other than theBachelor of Arts in computing and the Bachelor of Science in technology managementdegree programs). On the ETAM application, you must apply to three majors and have the option to select up to five majors.
Double-check your major choices and rankings before submitting your ETAM application. You will not have the option to decline an offer to a major listed on your application.
