The Bush School of Government and Public Service is an undergraduate and graduate college of Texas A&M University founded in 1997 under former US President George H. W. Bush's philosophy that "public service is a noble calling."[1] Since then, the Bush School has continued to reflect that notion in curriculum, research, and student experience and has become a leading international affairs, political science, and public affairs institution.

The Bush School is located in the Robert H. '50 and Judy Ley Allen Building adjacent to the George Bush Presidential Library on the West Campus of Texas A&M University. The George Bush Presidential Library opened its doors in 1997 on 90 acres (36 ha; 0.14 sq mi) of land donated by Texas A&M at the western edge of the campus. In 1995, Dr. Charles F. Hermann was hired as the Founding Director to build the Bush School; the first students started taking classes in Fall 1997. The school was initially a department inside the College of Liberal Arts but became an independent college within Texas A&M University in 2000.[2]

The Bush School was named in honor of former US President George H. W. Bush. He was involved in providing direction in the organization by helping bring noted professors and other individuals from the public and private sec to the campus. Visitors have included Ban Ki-moon, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Helmut Kohl, Peter Orszag, Mitt Romney, Mike Krzyzewski, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Karl Rove, Andrew Card, Dan Quayle, Antonin Scalia, Ryan Crocker, Michael Mullen, Sean Hannity, Jeb Bush, and Jiang Zemin.[3]

The Robertson Foundation selected the Bush School for the prestigious Robertson Fellowship Scholarship, a full-ride scholarship for students dedicated to government service.[4]

## Research[edit]

### Institutes[edit]

#### Institute for Science, Technology and Public Policy[edit]

The Institute for Science, Technology and Public Policy (ISTPP) was created by the Board of Regents in the fall of 2000 to fill a gap between science and technology research and public policy research.[26] ISTPP takes the position that for known social and environmental problems, science and technology may help find solutions. ISTPP's policy research aims to identify the public and stakeholders' acceptability parameters for science and technology applications. ISTPP also provides interdisciplinary research experience for doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students to augment their training as future decision and policy-makers and university faculty. Graduate students may also work with scholars as coauthors on manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. The current director of the ISTPP is Arnold Vedlitz.[27]

#### Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs[edit]

The Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs was established in 2007 and named in honor of Brent Scowcroft, retired US Air Force Lieutenant General and National Security Advisor for Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush. The Institute focuses on assessing, addressing, and presenting policy-oriented research on international affairs. It supports the School through hosting educational conferences and providing opportunities for researchers to access the Bush Library.[28] The current director of the Scowcroft Institute is Andrew Natsios, former USAID director.[29]

#### Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics, and Public Policy[edit]

### Centers[edit]

#### European Center[edit]

The European Union Center is to support scholarly investigations of public policy in a European context. Capitalizing on academic expertise within Texas A&M University, the center also supports the development of interdisciplinary relationships with a focus on Europe by promoting a better understanding of the policies and issues that influence the transatlantic relationship.[32]

#### Nonprofit[edit]

The Center for Nonprofits and Philanthropy (CNP) focuses on outreach, education, and research on the effective management of nonprofit organizations.[33] Its outreach activities include partnerships with Bank of America, United Way of the Brazos Valley, and the Cities of Bryan and College Station to operate programs on volunteerism and leadership in public service. The center offers a variety of workshops, seminars, and conferences, as well as three certificate opportunities: the Certificate in Nonprofit Management, Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership, and Certificate in Social Justice Leadership (launched in fall 2021).[34] Dr. William A. Brown directs the center.[35]

### Programs[edit]

#### Intelligence Studies[edit]

When the Bush School of Government and Public Service was established in 1997, President George H.W. Bush strongly desired a concentration in intelligence studies as part of the curriculum.[39] Professor James Olson has used his lengthy career as a CIA undercover operative to teach intelligence.[40] Student interest has been strong, and over 300 graduates have successfully completed the program. Today, the program is considered a top school for U.S. intelligence agencies and maintains practitioner expertise from the CIA, FBI, NSA, and U.S. military.

All students in the Master of International Affairs degree program are required to complete at least two concentrations as part of their degree requirements. The Intelligence as an Instrument of Statecraft concentration consists of three courses chosen from an offering of intelligence-related courses.[41]

#### Women, Peace and Security[edit]

The Program on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) was established in November 2015 within the Department of International Affairs at the Bush School, with Professor Valerie M. Hudson serving as its first director.[42] Its purpose is to provide a WPS node in the heartland of the United States, and its mission is three-fold: teaching, research, and outreach. The Program's inaugural funding is provided by the Compton Foundation;[43] and its research arm, The WomanStats Project, is currently funded by the US Department of Defense.[44]

#### Middle East[edit]

The Bush School's Middle East Program prepares students in the Master of International Affairs and Master of International Policy degree programs for professional careers in government and the nongovernmental sector that require an in-depth knowledge of the Middle East.[45] Four full-time faculty members in the Department of International Affairs offer a range of courses on the region, exploring the domestic politics of regional states, religion and politics, regional political economy, post-conflict reconstruction and development, the international politics of the region, and American policy toward it.

All students in the Master of International Affairs degree program are required to complete at least two concentrations as part of their degree requirements. The Middle East concentration consists of three courses on the region.

#### Cyber Policy, Strategy, and Security[edit]

The Bush School's Cyber Policy, Strategy, and Security Program was established in 2018 in response to student demand and growth in the professional opportunities available to Bush School graduates in cyber policy and cybersecurity.[46] It is headed by Gen. J. Kevin McLaughlin, USAF (Ret.), whose last post before retiring from the Air Force was deputy commander of U.S. Cyber Command.[47][circular reference] The Program prepares students in the Master of International Affairs and Master of International Policy degree programs for professional careers in government and the nongovernmental sector in the cyber arena.

All students in the Master of International Affairs degree program are required to complete at least two concentrations as part of their degree requirements. The Cyber Policy concentration consists of three courses chosen from a list of approved courses.

#### Economic Statecraft[edit]

The Bush School's Economic Statecraft Program (ESP) is a national center of excellence for the study of economics and security that serves as a magnetic pole for bringing together and stimulating a growing body of scholarship on the topic of economic statecraft.[48] The Economic Statecraft Program is a novel effort that seeks to analyze economic statecraft, bring together academics across the world, and serve as a linkage between policymakers and academia. It is led by Dr. William J. Norris, an associate professor at the Bush School, who also directs the China Studies concentration.[49]
