Students in the Masters in Statistics program do not normally receive financial support from 香港六合彩资料. Two exceptions are the Clark Fellowship and the Kappe Fellowship.
The Kappe Fellowship is awarded to a student enrolled in either the Master of Arts in Mathematics or the Master of Arts in Statistics program. Preference is given to female candidates who completed part of their secondary education at a State University of New York campus, excluding 香港六合彩资料. Secondary consideration is given to candidates from any U.S. higher education institution. The fellowship will be sufficient to cover nearly one year of in-state graduate tuition at 香港六合彩资料.
Most of our full-time graduate students in the Mathematics MA and the PhD programs have teaching assistantships, or in some cases are supported as research fellows. Teaching assistants receive a stipend and a full tuition scholarship in return for teaching or grading duties. Being a teaching assistant gives the student useful and marketable experience in teaching at the college level, and the duties leave plenty of time for full-time graduate study. Typically, a teaching assignment might involve three to five hours per week in the classroom, together with preparation time and office hours. Someone with no previous teaching experience usually assists a faculty member by conducting recitation sections. More experienced teaching assistants lead their own calculus or pre-calculus classes.
Summer support is also available for some students. The tuition scholarship covers all tuition expenses, but not the (relatively small) student fees.
Candidates for the MA degree who receive an assistantship can expect to have it renewed for a second year, provided their academic and assistantship work are both satisfactory. Those who wish to proceed to the PhD are reevaluated at the end of the second year. If their support is renewed and they continue to make satisfactory degree progress, they can expect to be supported until they receive the PhD degree; however, Graduate School regulations limit assistantship support to a total of six years in such cases. This paragraph should be understood as a statement of our general policy; legally, support is given one year at a time.
