you'll_never_get_to_heaven Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Can anyone tell me about the M.A. programs at Texas Tech and CSU Long Beach? I'm planning on submitting apps to CSU LA and Wisconsin-Milwaukee this upcoming weekend after I inform my recommenders of my plan. I am planning on accepting New Mexico's admissions offer, but it couldn't hurt to have a few more options to worth with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has any questions about the program, feel free to shoot me a DM. How expensive is it? I know they aren't fully funded. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuition remission varies between students, but most students have to pay just under $20,000 ($16,000 in my case), all of which is due during the first year. During the second year no tuition is paid, and each semester thereafter (if you elect to stay longer) costs $800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, basically you paid 4k a semester? that is really not bad at all. Hmm. I wish I'd known that when I was applying for MA programs 2016, lol. Thank you for the information. I'm sure someone else will find it beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but bear in mind two things: 1) All 20 grand must be paid in the period between the September of your first semester and the January of your second. So, while it is only 5 grand a semester, you do need to have 20 grand in liquidity over a period of about 5 months. 2) This is just the cost of tuition - not the cost of attending Tufts! Medford/Somerville is a pretty expensive area, and you can expect to pay $600-$800 a month on rent just to share a 1 bedroom apartment with roommates. Many students take jobs to supplement their income (TAships pay about $1,000/mo while school is in session). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1000 in that area probably won't go far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

you'll_never_get_to_heaven Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Anyone know a whole lot about CSU LA and/or CSU Long Beach? The only concern I have about UNM at this point is that it is not in a location with a cluster of universities, although since it is an M.A. that is less of a concern. Still, it's obvious that there's a larger scholarly community in any coastal city. The Stony Brook program looks actually pretty good and the students I've emailed are very enthused about the program (and it really is unique), but UNM has reliable placement data and seems to be overall a safer bet. It's also a growing department with younger faculty, so I'd imagine the faculty have more of an actual reason to invest in current students than at more esteemed universities with several professors in their 70s and 80s.

I don't know about any CSU schools. But I'll say that if your only concern about UNM is that there aren't other universities around, then things are looking pretty good, especially because Albuquerque otherwise seems like a cool place to live. Stony Brook is also good, I don't think you have to worry about their placement relative to UNM's placement (anecdotal experience, please take it with a grain of salt). So between those two schools? Follow the money. Follow the weather. You'll be too busy in a master's program to notice what other universities are doing anyway (a doctoral program is a little different, it helps to have other programs around, especially when it comes to external committee members). philosopuppy, you'll_never_get_to_heaven and Marcus_Aurelius 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
