What’s the Class Size like at Texas A&M?

One of the main things I'm looking at while choosing colleges is class size. I feel like I do really well in smaller classroom settings, so I’m trying to figure out if Texas A&M would be a good fit for me. Does anyone know the average class size there?

Certainly! As per the data available, about 20% of the classes at Texas A&M have fewer than 20 students. On the other hand, roughly 35% of the classes have 50 or more students. This is influenced by factors such as the year of study and the type of classes. For instance, introductory courses and general education classes often have more students, while upper-level and major-specific courses tend to be smaller.

The student-to-faculty ratio at Texas A&M is 20:1. It's worth considering, though, that this ratio doesn't necessarily reflect your experience in classrooms. It's generally a representation of the university's overall student body and faculty size and does not take into account factors like part-time faculty, grad students who may be teaching, or faculty on sabbatical.

So, while Texas A&M is a large research university with some large-scale classes, there are also opportunities for smaller, interactive classes, especially as you delve deeper into your major. It would be important to visit or talk to current students to get a comprehensive understanding of the class dynamics. Keep in mind that even in a large university setting, there can be supportive methods in place such as discussion groups, office hours, and tutoring to ensure that students get the help they need.
