Texas A&M youth programs in Bryan–College Station

Texas A&M is many offices, not one signup. Homeschoolers may join some of what follows; it is not a homeschool program. Year-round offerings sit on this page. Week-long camps change every summer — use the university’s finder, not last year’s flyer.

Standing programs

Independent study, a Saturday math circle, mentored high-school research. Each has its own registration.

Class PReMa — Program for Research in Mathematics A free, mentored research program for self-motivated high-school students run by the Texas A&M Department of Mathematics. Students work individually or in small groups with faculty and graduate mentors on real math research, then often present at a spring high-school research conference on campus. Weekends Free Ages 14–18 College Station
Class TAMU Math Circle A weekly school-year Saturday gathering for 5th–12th graders who want extra math: games, a discovery session, then problem solving, led by Texas A&M faculty and graduate students. Students are grouped by math background (pre-algebra, algebra, algebra 2 and up), not by grade. Open to any interested student, including those who drive in from outside Bryan–College Station. Weekends From $100 a child Ages 10–18 College Station
Class Veterinary Science Certificate Program, ages 12+ — Texas A&M AgriLife Texas A&M AgriLife's structured veterinary-science course for students 12 and up, open to homeschoolers: about 100 independent-study lessons with teacher-led videos, printable materials, online quizzes and hands-on skills, paced for roughly two years. Three tracks — Clinical (companion, livestock and exotic animal health: about 200 hours of coursework, 225 supervised clinical hours and a 100-skill checklist), One Health (how animal, human and environmental health connect) and Laboratory (research and diagnostic work). Clinical Track students 16 and older may sit the Texas A&M Veterinary Assistant exam — a separate credential; the program does not make anyone a licensed vet tech or veterinarian. Run from Aggieland, so the required clinical placement can draw on the local veterinary and animal-science community. After school Independent-study curriculum about $1,000, or about $250 per section; Virtual Veterinary Academy about $375 a semester; student resources about $35; certification exam about $50. Prices change between years. Ages 12+

Summer camps

Colleges across campus run week-long camps for school-age students — engineering, vet science, STEM, the arts. Dates, ages, and costs are set each year. The Texas A&M youth camp finder is the current list. The Office for Youth Engagement is the office behind that page, not a separate program to join.

County 4-H

Brazos County 4-H is AgriLife youth programming next door, not a campus camp and not a school extracurricular. Homeschool families can enroll; membership is not homeschool-only. Clubs, robotics, and the county calendar live on that listing.
