Please note that applications for fall 2008 admission to the MPIA and MPSA programs are now CLOSED. We will begin accepting applications for fall 2009 enrollment in September 2008.
Degree Programs Admissions
The Bush School master's programs admit students for enrollment beginning in the fall semester. The priority application deadline for fall enrollment is during January of the enrollment year. The priority application deadline for fall 2008 for the MPSA and MPIA is Friday, January 18, 2008. Application requirements and instructions are available on the requirements page.
Once students have submitted completed applications, they are eligible to attend an Interview Conference and are considered for a limited number of travel stipends that are awarded to subsidize their travel. Applicants who meet the priority deadline may also be eligible for nomination for merit-based university scholarships.
The Bush School will continue to consider applications from qualified candidates for admission beyond the priority date on a space available basis as late as the end of April. Applications submitted after the January deadline will be considered for scholarship support; however, some of the most significant scholarship awards are made early.
International applicants are strongly encouraged to complete their application package by the January priority deadline.
Applicants are responsible for seeing that all application materials reach the Texas A&M University Office of Records and Admissions and the Bush School by the deadline. Only complete applications will be considered. Applicants will be notified by the Bush School once their application is complete.
