Academics and scholarship
[edit]The college was founded to provide a residential college experience for Schwarzman Scholars. Students at the college study a one-year degree program of Master of Management in global leadership. During this time, the scholars live inside the Schwarzman College building.[6]
Annually, 100–200 Schwarzman Scholars are chosen through a competitive selection process. All students admitted are fully funded by the university. Approximately 40% of the participants come from the United States, 20% from China, and the rest 40% from the rest of the world. Students apply directly to the program and do not require a nomination from their home universities.[7]
