How do the Bush Schools MPSA and MIA degrees relate to one another?
Texas A&M is one of only a few major public universities offering both a public management/ public policy degree and an international affairs degree within a comprehensive school of public and international affairs. The Bush School is a separate, graduate-only professional school on par with the other colleges within Texas A&M University. By offering both degree programs, and doing so within the same school with an integrated curriculum and faculty, the Bush School enables students to take courses across its programs if they desire special combinations of skills and abilities. For example, some students in public management or policy analysis prefer to add international affairs content to their experience; and students in international affairs often seek an additional grounding in public management as they anticipate careers involving international management.
