COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KTRK) -- Texas A&M University says they're launching the state's first four-year, post-secondary education program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.



quote:

"The intention of this program is to provide a rigorous education, academics and employment experience that will prepare these young adults to go out and work in the community in a job they are interested in that matches their strengths."

The school says though they will not receive a degree from Texas A&M, they will graduate with a certificate, acknowledging their completion of the program.


This is a very good program for those disadvantaged young adults. That's great to hear aTm, they'll make great aTm Alumni!!!

You should give them a great big Gig'em!!!

If they’re no longer giving degrees to Aggies, that school is going to fold.

No, I honestly wanted to just be friends with her but in the end, we couldn’t navigate all that BS.

Which school will be the first to offer a Masters or Ph.D. certificate?

Bartholomew can’t tie his shoes or count to 12, but he has a doctorate in shapes and colors from Auburn.

So a number of normal capability people can’t get into A&M on their own, but disabled people will have a special program?
