Welcome to the Blinn TEAM Website
The Blinn TEAM
(“Transfer Enrollment at A&M”) Program is a
collaborative, coenrollment partnership between a major university (Texas
A&M) and a community college (
Blinn
College
). Each year since
2001 this unique initiative has allowed the admission of additional hundreds of
qualified students into the Texas A&M freshman class than would have
otherwise been possible due to enrollment management limitations.
Participating
students are initially admitted to
Texas
A&M
University
on a part-time basis, and may earn full admission by several methods.
Blinn TEAM students are enrolled in one academic course at Texas A&M
each semester, and the remainder of their courses at the Bryan Campus of
Blinn
College
. Students who
complete 45 Blinn credit hours and 15 A&M credit hours within a two-year
period, while maintaining a 3.0 grade point ratio at each school, are
automatically admitted to Texas A&M.
TEAM students who wish to transition to A&M sooner may compete for transfer
admission when they meet transfer eligibility.
Finally, students who do not transition by the aforementioned methods
may fully matriculate via the university’s readmission process after their two
year program has concluded.
Blinn
TEAM students benefit from enrollment at both institutions; students enjoy the
university experience afforded by Texas A&M (such as residence hall life,
sports events, and a huge range of student activities), while enjoying the
smaller classroom environments and costs of
Blinn
College
. Academic advisors, faculty, and staff at both schools
facilitate TEAM student successes. No other program in
Texas
connects a junior and senior institution in exactly this way.
