Non-Academic Group programs are coordinated by Texas A&M student groups/organizations, units, departments, colleges or other Texas A&M entities that do not offer academic credit. Instead, these offer experiences of cultural enrichment, conference attendance, and Capstone Projects, as well as internship, research, or volunteer opportunities.

Texas A&M entities interested in coordinating one of these types of programs should register the experience with Education Abroad in accordance with Standard Administrative Procedure 21.01.03.M0.02.

The primary staff contact, or program leader assigned by the department or entity, in collaboration with the Education Abroad advisor, will coordinate arrangements for the group. Education Abroad primarily provides health and safety resources, risk management and emergency information, and support for these programs.
