@AggieMomhelp So in order to apply to the university studies- business degree my sophomore year, what do I apply for when I choose my major for PSA? I was thinking more about the administration/management side of Business as my major when I originally applied to Mays
@AggieMomhelp my current credits are all dual credit, and theyâre the prereqs (English, Gov, Hist, Speech). My intended major is a BS in Econ
@reddy2go You might also consider Agribusiness. At A&M, you would take some of your classes in the Mays Business School but be under the school of Agriculture. I had friends who got Agribusiness or AgEconomics degrees and got jobs in with companies that are not Ag related. It is a business degree from Texas A&M but it does not say âMaysâ.
@waitingAgg youâll need to complete the math requirement. For my freshman son itâs Math 140 and 142. But confirm this because I think they are now wanting the new class to have Math 151 (engineering math) going forward. Also need both Econ classes (202 and 203) with a C or better. And minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
@WaitingAgg If you have been accepted to Tarleton already, they will simply change the wording in your file to denote that you are PSA. You will not have to re-apply.
Still âin reviewâ.
Saw this post by TAMU Admissions on texags this morning:

We should finish freshmen review by mid-March so be sure to check your AIS page from time to time (end of week is probably best). It will be clear on your AIS regarding any offer we may be able to make to you.
@DestinationTAMU I havenât seen any gateway offers. the program sounds awesome! Iâm hoping my son receives that offerâŠheâs still in review too.
@reddy2go Itâs not necessary to pick your intended major at the PSA school. It doesnât bind you. If youâre wanting Management future, you could do psychology or sociology. these could end up being your minors at TAMU with the US-Business degree. OR, Human Resource development has a major with PSA. Skyâs the limit my friend. Look at the different courses offered for these plans and see what interests you.
@AggieMomhelp how would you recommend going about this, because Iâm a first generation student and have no idea on what to do
Wait I realized if offered PSA I donât think I can participate in it because Econ isnât a participating department in this. Dang it!!
@WaitingAgg I just looked through the major options that are offered by PSA and Econ is one of them!
@reddy2go where did you see that at? I used this as my reference: http://admissions.tamu.edu/psa
Econ does not participate. Best to just go to CC and transfer when you meet requirements!
if I have econ as my first choice major and I canât get PSA what will I get?
@soc2434 Even if your major does not participate in PSA does not mean you wouldnât get that offer. They could still offer you PSA and it would be up to you to choose a new major etc. A&M does not use your major in admission decisions.
Hi All - My son is a freshman in Engineering at TAMU CS and he is very happy. However, it is a very difficult program. He is doing fine (3.2 average his first semester), but there is not much individual attention. He tends to learn from older friends. I think UT Dallas is a great option too, at least for STEM majors kind of students, and Texas Tech does have a good engineering program. If I can answer any questions I am happy to give opinions. Best of luck to all!!
@soc234 I would imagine it wouldnât change the PSA admissions offer ( if thatâs what they give you) âŠmore then up to you to decide if thatâs the pathway you wish to consider/take. Several people on this forum have mentioned receiving offers that donât have connecting PSA pathways to their major choice - so I think it becomes a rethink on the applicantâs part 
@soc2434 You would probably need to do the PTA program, not PSA so you are guaranteed admission into Econ.

does econ fill up like psychology/business/engineering?
Itâs a popular major but not sure it âfillsâ up. But if you did PTA and completed requirements, youâre guaranteed.
