How is Brandeis' MA program?

I am willing to do some quantitative works in the future. Does the program provide rigorous method training?

If not, is the program good in general in terms of admittance into doctoral programs at top US institutions?

The problem is that the program requires TOEFL score even for international students who are studying in the US. TOEFL is not a headache for me, but it still takes time and money to register and re-prepare.

Brandeis is not a good place to get rigorous quant methods training. I don't know about your other questions, but the faculty there are well known and well connected in the discipline compared to other small programs.
