Application Process
The Bush School master's programs admit yearly for enrollment in the fall. The priority application deadline for fall 2013 enrollment for the MPSA and MPIA is January 11, 2013. We will continue to accept applications past this date until offers are made and/or the classes are filled. For the MPIA that date is usually until late February, and for the MPSA it is late May. Please contact us at admissions@bushschool.tamu.edu or call 979-862-3476 to speak with us for updates on the current process. Application requirements and instructions are available on the requirements page.
A priority deadline has been established for MPSA and MPIA admission. Those students submitting completed applications by January 11, 2013, will be eligible to attend Interview Conference and will be considered for a limited number of travel stipends that will be awarded to subsidize their travel. Applicants who meet the priority deadline may also be eligible for nomination for additional 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 until late spring. These applications will still 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 January 11, 2013, due the processing time it takes to handle paperwork.
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 via email once their application is complete.
