Military Friendly MBA Program

Leverage Your Experience with a Texas A&M MBA

Your military experience combined with an MBA from Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School provides you with a competitive advantage, whether you are separating from the military or seeking accelerated advancement for your continuing career in the armed forces. Learn more about how an MBA translates to career success for Military personnel.

As a university and a community, Texas A&M is an excellent fit for military personnel wishing to pursue their MBA. Founded in 1876 as a military academy, Texas A&M has a proud, long-standing tradition of association with the military. Though no longer a military academy, Texas A&M still maintains one of the nation’s largest ROTC programs outside the service academies. Our community, the twin cities of College Station and Bryan, Texas, is a conservative, military-friendly community with many veterans residing here.

If you’ve ever met another Aggie, you understand the loyalty and devotion our former students hold for their alma mater. That loyalty and devotion also translates into an invaluable alumni network that will serve you as a student in the MBA program and throughout your career.
