2.7.4 The institution provides instruction for all course work required for at least one degree program at each level at which it awards degrees. If the institution makes arrangements for some instruction to be provided by other accredited institutions or entities through contracts or consortia, or uses some other alternative approach to meeting this requirement, the alternative approach must be approved by the Commission on Colleges. In all cases, the institution demonstrates that it controls all aspects of its educational program.

NARRATIVE/JUSTIFICATION FOR JUDGMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Texas A&M International University
provides instruction for all courses required in degree programs at each
level. All courses
are initiated by faculty and follow the approval process through addition
to the course inventory at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
(Course
and Program Development). However, courses taken at other accredited institutions are normally
accepted in transfer as long as the student meets the residency requirement
for the degree. (Catalog
2004-2005, Division of Student Affairs,
Transfer Student Admission) (Catalog
2004-2005, Academic Regulations - Undergraduate,
Residence Requirement) (Catalog

The University also participates in collaborative programs with other
institutions within the Texas A&M University System. The Ph.D.

between
Texas A&M University, the degree granting institution, and the
following collaborative institutions: Texas A&M University - Corpus
Christi, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, Texas A&M International
