Typical questions from MBS applicants (part one):

Q:   How many credit-hours is required for MBS program?

A:   48 credit hours.

Q:   Is thesis required?

A:   Yes.

Q:   How long does it take typically to finish the program?

A:   2 years.

Q:   How are the TOEFL & GRE minimum requirements for application to your department?

A:   There are typical minimum scores, but no absolute minimum.  In some instances a student is admitted to the university and must take language courses first.  In all cases, high scores are useful in competition for financial aid, since they are more consistent measures for students from wildly varying countries/backgrounds.  I would expect to see GRE's above 550, 600, 600  and TOEFL (paper) above 500 for admission and GRE's above 650, 700 with TOEFL over 600 for the Teaching Assistantships.
