Texas A&M University-Texakana will once again host

The July 9-12 sessions include Art History, US History, World History, and
Government. The July 23-26 sessions include Calculus AB/BC, Computer Science
A, and English Language and Literature. AP training sessions are led by College
Board consultants.
