Texas A&M University-Commerce competency based degree

[fromthedepths]

My brother and I applied to TAMUC and had our official transcripts sent in. No communication for three weeks except two automated emails, one stating we were admitted. I called numerous times inquiring about the transcript evaluations. Most of the time I reached no one and left polite messages that were never returned. On the rare occasion, I reached someone, I was given a variety of inaccurate excuses.  Eventually, I emailed the director of admissions and started getting emails from admissions officers as a result. They claimed my transcript was evaluated the same day it was received. Our evaluations were rife with errors. My brother's evaluation, containing almost identical courses, deviated significantly from mine. We have not been able to appeal or even get an explanation. Texas A&M is a very credible school but their Commerce campus is chaos. We were applying for their BAAS in Organizational Leadership because it is a CBE program. After examining the courses, TAMUC did us a favor. Their Organizational Leadership courses appear to have little utility and there are better check the box degrees.

Avoid TAMUC.

Edit: For those with Sophia credit, there are better options. They accepted less than half.

So, there are several of us who have graduated from TAMUC. I recently graduated and have kept the wiki updated with what has recently been accepted from Sophia and other sources. The maximum credits you can transfer in are 81 (84 if you've previously taken a Texas Government course). This is still valid as of last week as I have friends that are in the Fall 2 session.

The only person that you should be contacting is Brianna Harrison or the CID advising team. They are the ones that will transcribe your credit. 

I'm sorry if you are having some difficulties, but I wouldn't advise anyone to avoid TAMUC or claim that the campus is chaos. It's a pretty decent program with an advising staff that tend to be very helpful.
