"Flexibility is one of the major strengths of the M.A.L.S. program: students have great freedom in designing their own course of study. We believe that this is important because each student is an individual with specific interests and needs. Academic advising is tailored to each student's situation. I advise all the M.A.L.S. students, but often send them to other professors for additional consultation.

Our faculty is distinguished, with doctorates from Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, and other leading institutions, and a substantial record of research and publication. Professors are also accessible to students and willing to work with them on an individual basis, for independent study or for advising about further graduate study or career concerns."
