Cadet to Medicine
The Cadet to Medicine (C2M) Program is designed for members of the Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets who are committed to attending medical school at Texas A&M and pursuing a career as a military physician. The C2M Program is open to second and some third-year cadets who meet minimum selection criteria and complete an interview with a selection committee. Cadets who are accepted into the program will have current medical student mentors and will be provided a pre-medical seminar course and an MCAT prep course free of charge. Selected cadets will be given guaranteed admission to the College of Medicine (provided that all requirements of the program are fulfilled) and will be expected to attend the school for their medical degree on a Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) scholarship for one of the branches of the United States military.
Academy to medicine
The Academy to Medicine (A2M) Program is designed for members of our Nation's military service academies – the United States Military Academy (USMA), the United States Naval Academy (USNA), and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) – who will commit to attending medical school at Texas A&M on a Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) scholarship for their respective branch of service. The A2M program is open to second-year cadets and midshipmen who meet minimum selection criteria and complete an interview with a selection committee. Those accepted into the program will be given guaranteed admission to the College of Medicine upon completion of degree requirements at their service academy. The program will guide chosen applicants through a joint learning path that will enhance their educational experience.
