The number of students on funding is not as important as the likelihood of receiving funding. Minority fellowships are awarded through the College of the Liberal Arts at the recommendation of the Department. The sooner we have an applicant's materials, the sooner we can get things done. All others may apply at any time. We do not have a doctorate program.
Funding covers the full expense and is available to International students.
There are no special forms for the letters of recommendation, references construct their own letter and put in an envelope provided in the application packet. There is no shortage of internships. Alumni and corporations call the department frequently seeking internship candidates. If you want to be considered for financial assistance, the earlier the better. January 15th is the official cut off date.
