In a little more than a decade, the Bush School has made remarkable strides
toward becoming one of the leading public and international affairs graduate
schools in the nation. The belief of George Bush, 41st President of the United
States, in the nobility of public service has been the cornerstone of the
School's philosophy and continues to shape all aspects of the curriculum,
research, and student experience.
The Master of Public Service and Administration and the Master's Program in
International Affairs are the two academic cornerstones of the School. In
addition to the successful degree programs, the School has also instituted an
expanding online and extended education program that includes certificates in
advanced international affairs, homeland security, and nonprofit management.
Distinguished, multidisciplinary faculty members have gained national and
international prominence for their research, publications, and leadership of
significant conferences on key issues of public policy. The Institute for
Science, Technology and Public Policy and the Scowcroft Institute of
International Affairs were established to conduct policy-oriented research.
In its short history, the School has had a significant impact in the public
service arena through research and the development of public servants and
principled leaders.
