Graduate Program » Frequently Asked Questions - and Answers too!
Prospective graduate students usually have many questions about the
universities and the graduate programs to which they apply. The application
process can be overwhelming, and people sometimes forget to ask certain
questions when they have the opportunity.
The NMSU Astronomy Department graduate students have thus compiled a list of
frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the department over the last few years.
These Q&A sessions were categorized under the major topics about which
prospective students are usually curious. For each topic, listed below, you
will find a list of questions from previous prospective students and answers
from current or recent graduate students. Only minor modifications have been
made, such as the removal of names for the purpose of annonimity and small
grammatical corrections.
A FAQ will never quite fulfill everyone's curiosity, and written list can
never replace person-to-person communication. If you would like to ask a
graduate student or professor in the NMSU Astronomy Department about the
application procedure, graduate program, or anything else related to our
department, please feel free to ask!
