STUDENTS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS

Students in the Department of Agricultural Economics (AGBL, AGBU, AGEC) who left TAMU with a minimum GPR of 2.0 overall, in major, and for AGBL/AGBU students in Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) courses will be automatically accepted for readmission into the same major they were in before leaving.

Students in the Department of Agricultural Economics who left TAMU with a grade deficiency overall, in major, or CBKs (or any combination of areas) must have been offered a contract from the Department of Agricultural Economics outlining conditions that must be met in order to be offered readmission into the Department. This contract must be issued at the time the student leaves the Department.
