Prospective Students Visit Bush School
More than 137 prospective students from 21 states as well as Korea, Canada, and Mexico attended interview conferences at the Bush School of Government and Public Service on February 27 and 28. Sixty-two students were being considered for the Master of Public Service and Administration (MPSA), while 75 students interviewed for the Master’s Program in International Affairs (MPIA).
The interview conferences enable the School’s Admissions Committee to learn more about the prospective students, while at the same time, the students gain a better understanding of the Bush School experience. During their weekend visit, prospective students were given an overview of the School; took part in academic program interviews and assessments; toured the campus and community; and had opportunities to interact informally with current students, faculty, and staff.
Executive Associate Dean Sam Kirkpatrick noted that attending the conference did not guarantee admission to the Bush School. “We believe the interview process to be an important step for students considering our graduate programs, but all applications are considered equally,” Kirkpatrick said. “Some students are unable to come to the campus, but those who do gain a better understanding of the School’s academic offerings and life on campus and in the community,” he added.
