Welcome to the Corps of Cadets Association’s FREE online courses. Starting with our inaugural course, Corps Values, these courses supplement and complement the education and training that cadets gain during the Corps experience. They likewise provide the general public with a window into one of America’s premier institutions of leadership and character development—the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.

Our inaugural course

Corps Values.

The six core values long embraced by Texas A&M University’s Corps of Cadets are not new. Indeed, their roots can be traced to the foundations of western civilization itself. This course features retired Air Force General Patrick K. Gamble who examines how great philosophers and historical movements have crafted and shaped these enduring pillars which continue to light the path for generations of cadets.

We The People.

Being a member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets demands development as a good citizen, and a key element of good citizenship is familiarity with the United States Constitution. Narrated by former White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card, Jr., this course is designed to provide a broad overview of the context, structure, and effect of this important document.

Free markets free people.

A foundational awareness and respect for America’s free-market system of economics must be part of the classical component of knowledge that enhances the cadet experience. The course features former U.S. Senator from Texas and Texas A&M economics professor Phil Gramm who makes the case that free markets free people.
Member Benefits

Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association

Your annual membership in the CCA directly supports the Corps and comes with a variety of additional benefits.

Promote The Corps

The Corps of Cadets Association (CCA) is the go-to source for private funding for the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. The CCA is laser-focused on supporting our Corps—our national treasure. Every year, we provide millions of dollars in funding for Corps programs, events, and equipment. No other organization comes close to offering this level of support. We work tirelessly to protect, promote, and perpetuate the success of future, current, and former cadets.

Special Events

Each year, the CCA hosts exclusive events for members, based on their level of membership. These include the Corps of Cadets Hall of Honor Gala, Senior Dining Out, Hollingsworth 1876 Society Receptions, and special donor watch parties. We also proudly host Rally to the Guidons, a beloved tradition that invites former cadets to fall into formation behind the Corps and march in review—rekindling the spirit and pride of their cadet days.

Monthly Publications

Every month CCA members receive a publication from the Association: The President's Quarterly Update, a thought provoking memo from President & CEO Bruce Hamilton, on the Corps and how it relates to our world today; The Ross Review, a speech digest of dignitaries that are brought into the University to talk to cadets on leadership; and our award winning magazine, The Guidon, that highlights stories from the Quad and legacies worth retelling.

Other Opportunities

CCA members enjoy access to unique volunteer opportunities that can only be found through the CCA. Our volunteers welcome incoming cadet families on check-in day, serve meals to cadets during March to the Brazos, and assist with other events throughout the year. The CCA truly is the go-to organization for all things Corps.
