kaban2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hey ya´ll Does anyone have any feedback on Texas A&M Bush School MPSA program? I see a number of posts on the MIA program, but I have applied and been accepted to the MPSA program, with some funding that makes this one of the more financially reasonable options. However, it seems like this is a relatively new program and I am not clear on its caliber, caliber of students, etc. Does anyone want to share their insight on why they applied or accepted/declined their offer of admissions? A bit of background about me: I am interested in nonprofit management and philanthropy, with a goal of pursuing a PhD after completing the master's degree. Thanks in advance!

jxmp Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 If your goal is to get a PhD, then don't take out a lot of loans for a masters degree. I would go to whichever program gives you the most funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been_a_g Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I can't speak directly to the MPSA program, but I can tell you that the MIA program is designed as a professional degree, meaning that it's not geared towards those looking to go into academia and pursue a PhD. The MIA program doesn't even offer undergraduate or PhD degrees. I declined my admission/fellowship offer from TAMU. I attended their interview conference, and while I was impressed with the school, I wasn't impressed with the caliber of the potential cohort. Also, College Station is truly in the middle of nowhere and quality of life was limited at best. Hope this help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
