Fall Open House

Join us for our biggest graduate programs recruiting event of the year!  On Thursday, October 16th, we will be hosting our Open House event.

The event will kick off virtually and then will finish in person on campus in the afternoon. View the schedule and register here.

Application Fee Waivers:

The LBJ School offers application fee waivers for our master's programs based on financial need for those who attend an admissions event.
