The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets

The Corps brings young women and men from all walks of life into the ultimate Aggie experience. The military-inspired cadet program provides students a structured lifestyle where academic excellence is emphasized, balanced with a university life rich in extra-curricular and leadership opportunties available only to Corps members.

Two Paths
Through the Corps experience, cadets learn master management and organizational skills and build their leadership capability. Most cadets graduate with an Academic Certificate in Leadership Studies along with their selected degree and begin careers in business, non-profit or government. Many, however, become commissioned officers and join one of the military services.

Campus Involvement
Cadets are encouraged to get involved in campus activities, from Traditions Council to Student Government to Fish Camp. It’s common for Corps members to hold highly respected positions on campus such as Student Body President and Yell Leader, and to take leading roles in dozens of other A&M student organizations.
