[Any MS/MA students on here?]

Hi kjh22. Congrats on your acceptances! Sounds like you have a lot to choose between. Do you know which program you would pick if cost wasn't a factor? I was choosing between forensic psych and CJ just a little bit ago, so I know the struggle! If you ever want someone to talk stuff over with ever feel free to PM me. :-) I am pretty clueless to how this funding stuff works too! Are you feeling excited but mildly apprehensive? That's how I feel right now. haha. I am not sure what to expect starting graduate school or how to navigate the funding process, but I am supposed to have an adviser contacting me at some point, hopefully they can answer questions!

Thank you! I really am completely torn on which program to choose. I have been out of college for five years and I'm just not sure I want to move across the country again (I did for college and then moved back to my hometown). I was really hoping one of the two state schools would offer funding because I would just go there. I am still waiting to hear from the other state school (should be any day now). Once I have heard from the final school I will make a good old fashioned pros and cons list for each school (cost of living, research interests, faculty, internships, etc). I will PM you about the programs-don't want to name them on here since I have technically accepted at both (one required a deposit back in March and the other just an email)

I am still waiting to hear from one school (had April 1 deadline). I was accepted into two programs: one MS in criminology/criminal justice on the west coast and one MA in forensic psychology on the east coast. The one I am waiting to hear from is MS in criminology, also on west coast. I am completely torn on where I want to attend, especially if I get into the third. The state schools (west coast) are much cheaper which is a big factor. But the school back east has an amazing internship program and I really like the classes I have read about.

 

I didn't receive any funding so far. I didn't think that was a thing for masters programs. I'm kind of clueless about how that works!

[Need Advice...Not Sure What to Think]

I applied to two MA/MS criminology/criminal justice programs (CA state schools). One has April 1 deadline so definitely haven't heard from that one. The other had a February deadline and I still haven't heard anything.

[CSU Fresno or CSU Long Beach (Master's)]

Just curious if anyone has applied to or attended either of these programs. I am only seeing one entry for each in the Results Search and they are not recent (2010, 2012). Thanks!
