Live Texas A&M’s Oldest Tradition
As Texas A&M’s oldest, largest and most visible student organization, the Corps of Cadets can trace its origins back to the university’s founding in 1876.
For generations, young men and women have found the perfect space to learn, lead and inspire within our organization. Though the Corps utilizes a military based cultural model to develop our students, there is no military obligation tied to your status as a cadet. In fact, over 60% of all cadets go on to work in the public and private sectors after graduation.
In addition to being one of the nation’s premier leadership development programs, the Corps of Cadets is also proud to offer world class academic resources and exclusive scholarships. With a grade point averages that regularly exceed the rest of the university’s, the Corps of Cadets is here to give you the tools you need to succeed, from the classroom, to the boardroom, to the battlefield and beyond.
Membership in the Corps is greater than just being in another club. Our cadets are members of a family and alumni base that spans nearly two centuries. You won’t just be at the heart of Texas A&M’s oldest tradition, you’ll be living it every single day.
