Resources for Aggies Around the World
Texas A&M University is home to over 5,000 students from around the globe — almost 10% of our student enrollment calls somewhere other than the United States home. Our students bring unique perspectives to classroom discussions and make Texas A&M a diverse and inclusive place to get an education.

- are not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
- are not graduating from a Texas high school after three years in residence in Texas (please review Senate Bill 1528)
- are a student without college credit
- earned college credit prior to high school graduation (dual credit/early college high school)
