Is the Corps For You?
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. Though the Corps utilizes a rigorous military based cultural model to develop students, there is no military service commitment associated with membership in the Corps.
