This section discusses how long it takes to complete the M.S. program, what it costs, and job opportunities for M.S. students on campus.
Our Ph.D. students perform almost all teaching and research assistant work in our small department; thus, assistantships or fellowships are not available for M.S. students. We do not offer departmental financial support to incoming master’s students, although they are typically eligible for a reduction in tuition by 25% for the first year (nine courses); subject to satisfactory performance in classes and consulting, most continuing master’s students receive a reduction in base tuition of 40% after that.
