No. The program is strictly a full-time program and we are not able to accommodate part-time students. Aside from coursework, research and independent study require students to be on campus on a full-time basis.
No, a degree from a U.S. school will exempt you from the TOEFL requirements.
No. We do not have minimum cut-off scores on the GMAT or GRE. However, admission to the doctoral program is extremely competitive and our current students have averaged in the 90th percentile on the verbal and 80th percentile on the quantitative portions of the GMAT and/or GRE. An applicant with any score below the 70th percentile is unlikely to be admitted. However, regardless of test scores, each applicant is fully reviewed by the admissions committee.
International students are required to take the TOEFL. The Broad Graduate School of Management specifies a minimum score of 600 total for the paper version or 250 total for the computer version. Scores at or above this minimum will not guarantee admission.

Most of our students are supported by teaching assistantships or research assistantships. Entering students are generally awarded a teaching assistantship, provided they meet basic language qualifications. There is no separate application for teaching assistantships. Research assistantships are generally awarded to advanced graduate students.
We currently plan to admit three or five students each year. Logistics can be one to two students every couple of years.
These program is designed so that a student can finish in 4 years.
