The Bush School and Texas A&M University are working to achieve diversity and inclusivity through a strong, demonstrable presence of diversity in our faculty, staff, students, administrators, and supporters; an environment where the opportunity to fully participate does not inappropriately or unintentionally depend on elements of an individual’s identity; and an equitable environment where success depends on work effort and contributions that advance the mission of the University.

INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED FACULTY

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY & BRYAN/COLLEGE STATION COMMUNITY

Consistently ranked as one of the best places in the nation to live, the twin cities of College Station and Bryan offer the excitement and vibrancy of larger cities, without the traffic, crime, and high costs of living. Both cities have an abundance of well-maintained parks and recreational facilities, ranging from hiking and biking trails to outdoor concert venues. Affordable housing options are readily available close to the Bush School – with many directly on Texas A&M bus routes. Within easy reach of four of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, our students can easily explore all of that Texas has to offer.
