The graduate Certificate in National Security Affairs (Bush School of Government and Public Service) is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of United States national security policy for individuals with specific background and experience. Individuals may apply who hold a terminal or graduate degree from an accredited university and three years employment (or a bachelor's degree and five years employment) in a firm, laboratory, agency or non-governmental organization in which the individual's responsibilities involve the development or provision of systems, services or products for use in national or international security. Applicants must meet these requirements and those for admission for graduate study at Texas A&M University as non-degree seeking students (G-6). Proficiency in reading, writing and comprehending spoken English at a level necessary for graduate instruction is required.
