Application for Undergraduate Admission.

Official college/university transcript(s) sent directly from each institution attended. A minimum overall grade point average of 2.00 is required. Even though a grade below "C" will be calculated into the grade point average, it will not be used to satisfy degree requirements.

For Students outside Texas/US

A minimum TOEFL score of 213 (Computer-based) or 550 (Paper-based) is required.

IMPORTANT: As of September 1, 2003, the State of Texas required all students to meet the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) mandates.  TAMIU will use the state approved Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) as a form of assessment and honor any state approved alternative assessment instruments.  The University will use the THEA exemptions as stipulated by the State of Texas under the TSI plan.  The THEA score is not a determinant component for admissions into A&M International.
