As we approach the end of the Spring quarter, let's take a moment to look back over our accomplishments from the past year. During the 2024–2025 academic year, 11 GMAT students completed their Ph.D., and four students were awarded a Master's degree. So far during the current academic year, two GMAT students have received a Ph.D. and four have been awarded a Master's degree, with more expected at the end of the Spring quarter.
