@WTXMama @trinley has written an indepth response to this question on post #53 on the Engineering Academies thread, but in a nutshell, he writes …

“It is a 2 year program but can transition sooner. TAMU also offers direct enrollment in multiple Engineering Academies though junior colleges throughout the state. My son is at the Blinn Engineering Academy in Brenham. It is a 2 year program but you can transition to CS after 1 year (but you will have to complete the calc sequence for your selected major which for most majors is Calc 3). At the Academies you are co-enrolled. TAMU teaches the engineering class and the junior college teaches the calc, chemistry, physics and electives. You need a 2.0 GPA in the engineering courses and at least a 2.5 GPA in the junior college courses with no grade lower than a C to transition to TAMU CS”.

If your son was full admit, he would just register for it and take it at TAMU his third semester. In the academies, he will have to complete Cal 3 at the academy. I don’t know if that means carrying a full load at A&M after he gets into a major and then traveling back over to Rellis to take cal 3 or what. @trinley ?
