Program in Education Policy
The Program in Education Policy (PEP) was created by faculty at the Bush School of Government and Public Service in 2021 to fill a gap between education and public policy research. The concentration in Education Policy & Management (EDPM) and the Master of Public Service and Administration (PSAA) and Education Collaborative program allows Bush School students and other interested TAMU graduate students to take courses and develop an emphasis in education as it relates to public policy.

Education Policy & Management (EDPM) Concentration
Master of Public Service & Administration students at the Bush School are encouraged to take a concentration, to supplement the education and courses taken in their major track. The Bush School offers a concentration in Education Policy and Management (EDPM), and this concentration examines the key institutions that make and administer education policy, the political and economic forces that shape education policy at all levels, and the implications of policy for educational equity, adequacy, accountability, and administration.
The Bush School Admissions Office works with the Office of Graduate Admissions at Texas A&M University to process all applications for the on-campus Master of Public Service & Administration (MPSA).
