During the three-day program, iGeo participants attend classes, participate in group activities and tour the College of Geosciences. Geosciences faculty members lead workshops in the various specialties within the field, conduct labs, describe undergraduate research opportunities and discuss career choices. Current Texas A&M University Geosciences students serve as peer leaders during the program.

Students experience college life firsthand by rooming with current Geosciences students in residence halls. The iGeo Weekend Program ends with a tailgate celebration and attendance at a home football game.
