Finding a Graduate School that is right for you

Graduate School Survivor Information --- www.cs.umd.edu/~oleary/gradstudy/gradstudy.html This is a 13 chapter on-line booklet on everything from finding the right graduate school in computer science and mathematics, to jobs in government and industry. The author also discusses such mundane topics as applying for graduate school, the life of a graduate student and professional ethics.

Compare Ph.D. granting institutions ---www. phds.org/ratings/ This is a site strictly for science, math and engineering careers. If you are looking for the right graduate school, you can actually choose what parameters you wish to compare. Number of minorities granted Ph.D.'s? Number of women granted Ph.D.'s? Size of campus? Student/Prof ratio? Small town vs. City? This site also has articles on career development for mathematicians!

The AMS publishes a book called Assistantships and Graduate Fellowships in the Mathematical Sciences every year. It can be found through the AMS bookstore http://www.ams.org  then follow the links to the bookstore.  Here are a few to get you started:

ATT--- academic fellowship

Ford Foundation--- fellowships

Finding Internships and Fellowships

Internships are often seen by employers as entry level positions.  It is a way for them to check out your abilities and work habits.  For any internship, be sure to find out a few things before agreeing to take the internship. Will you have to find your own housing? Will the internship pay? What will your internship entail? If it's just copying and getting coffee, look further. Remember to apply early. Many internships have November deadlines. Don't forget to ask around. Local companies often have unadvertised internships or can create them.

For internships in math and science:

The National Security Agency

AT&T Labs  (Scroll down the page to internships)

The Department of Energy

The National Institutes of Health

The National Security Agency

NASA

The Bureau of Labor Statistics

The Census Bureau

Wood's Hole Oceanographic Institute

Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships--http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/scied/erulf/about.html

Environmental Protection Agency

Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education

Federal Bureau of Investigation

Central Intelligence Agency

AMS has a more complete list of internships.   (The links on this page is out of date, but the listing of companies is still good.

For more general or business related internships:

The Princeton Review On-Line--- www.review.com

This is a good site if you want an internship with a Fortune 500 company or similarly prestigious place.

Washington Internships--This site gives information on Washington, DC, area businesses and governmental organizations.

International Business Internship Exchange

This is a good place to start. This site separates internships from regular jobs. It has several search criteria and corporate profiles.

Also a good starting point for finding out what's available in your field. Can search by company, field or region. It has links to company internship websites.

Both these sites have Virtual Agents who will alert you by email if an internship with your specifications is put into the system. They also have articles and helps to get you started.

Young Mathematicians Network (YMN)

This is an interesting collection of new mathematicians looking for good career jobs. They meet at the annual joint math meetings.  They publish a monthly journal called Concerns of Young Mathematicians that has articles about the job search process, graduate school and first faculty position articles.

Looking for African American mathematicians? This is for you. NAM sponsors an undergraduate MathFest  as well as Regional Faculty Conferences on Research and Teaching Excellence.  Unfortunately, this site is not updated with information on upcoming events. It is a good starting point though and you can get the information on upcoming conferences by contacting the webmaster.

This conference is a great way to listen to some of the best African American mathematics researchers in business and academe.

The mission of SACNAS is to encourage Chicano/Latino and Native American students to pursue graduate education and obtain the advanced degrees necessary for research careers and science teaching professions at all levels.

Nurtures building of community by bridging science and technology with traditional Native values. Through its educational programs, AISES provides opportunities for American Indians and Native Alaskans to pursue studies in science, engineering, business and other academic arenas.

Offers MathSciNet-a guide to mathematical reviews on the web. Has a good bookstore, job search helps and more. Publishes the Journal of the AMS and Notices .

Sponsors SUMMA (Strengthening Underrepresented Minority Mathematics Achievement), Women and Mathematics Network and other quality professional development programs. Also sponsors Math Horizons Magazine and a bookstore.
