English term or phrase: the

at Graduate School of Medicine, University of ...

agree

Ty Kendall: I agree, without "the" it just sounds totally foreign and strange.

Martin Riordan: I also agree with Michael Wise above. In special circumstances, it could be left out.

6 mins

disagree

Cilian O'Tuama: disagree with your "definitely" - OK without article if it's an official name, a proper noun, e.g. Graduate School of Management// This might be a better example: Graduate School of London, see http://gslbritain.co.uk/

53 mins

agree

jccantrell: There has to be some sort of article in front, either the 'the' or some other qualifier, say UCLA's Graduate School of Management.
