As a graduate of NBSS (1989), I can honestly say that this is a great
program.  The work is very demanding, but the teachers are uncommonly
patient.  Above all, they are very knowledgable and whatever they don't
know off the tops of their heads they'll know where to look.  Furthermore,
they are receptive to new insights and ways of doing things.

Many students come from other parts of the world, and there have been
Korean students in the past.  Their student affairs e-mail address is:
