Admissions Overview
Applicants are responsible for seeing that all application materials are uploaded into Texas A&M’s applicant portal or delivered to the Bush School’s Admissions Office by the deadline. Only complete applications will be reviewed by faculty committees. Applicants can check the UniCAS Application Portal to view documents that have been uploaded and check their status, but Bush School Admissions will provide you an official email notice of a complete file. Look for our email updates and please be patient with us as we process incoming applications.
MPSA-MIA
The Bush School admits students into the signature, 2-year MPSA and MIA programs once a year. We open the application each August and make decisions by March for fall enrollment. We do not have spring enrollment.
Students submitting completed applications for the MPSA and MIA by the priority funding deadline of December 15 will be given full consideration for both University and Bush School merit scholarships and will be considered for partial travel reimbursement to attend their respective Interview Conference Weekends.
The Bush School may continue to accept applications into the spring on a space available basis. Updates will be posted here and you can contact us directly for updates.
MIP
Rolling admissions makes the process more flexible for the one-year MIP, with spring, summer, and fall enrollment. No merit aid is offered for this program and you must have 6 or more years of professional experience in the field of international affairs (broadly understood) to apply.
MIA-MPH
The application process for applicants applying to the MIA-MPH combined degree program is different from the MIA application process. Be sure to check out the MIA-MPH Admissions page for a complete list of instructions.
Contact Us
If you have questions about the admissions process or timeline, you can reach Kathryn, Ashlee, or Justin in the Admissions Office at 979-862-3476 or at bushschooladmissions@tamu.edu.
