Texas A&M Engineering Academy at HCC Spring Branch
Students interested in pursuing an engineering degree at Texas A&M can join the Texas A&M-Chevron Engineering Academy at HCC. The program allows students to simultaneously enroll at HCC and the Texas A&M College of Engineering. Classes provide an economical pathway to Texas A&M while also allowing students to study with colleagues in cohort-style classes. If you have a passion for engineering, I strongly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity. For more information, including upcoming deadlines and requirements please visit: https://www.hccs.edu/programs/areas-of-study/science- technology-engineering--math/engineering/tamu-academy/
Texas Success Initiative Assessment Prep Boot Camp
If you are looking to improve your score on the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSI), I encourage you to connect with HCC and take advantage of our TSI Prep Boot Camp.

Classes will be held at various times throughout the fall semester. Please connect with your local HCC College to find more information on the session in your area or you can begin your search at: https://www.hccs.edu/programs/adult-education/tsi-prep-boot-camp.
I, along with my colleagues on the Board of Trustees, hope that you will take the next steps to connect with HCC. You can enroll at any time. Please visit our website at hccs.edu or call 713.718.2000 to get started.
