RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Students working in the Math Center

Center for Statistics Education

Data is everywhere—and it’s used to address scientific inquiry and complex business questions. The Center for Statistics Education plays a key role in addressing a growing national need for statistics experts by promoting faculty research, creating relevant coursework and programming for ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ students, and offering professional development to statistics teachers in the Philadelphia region.

 

Research Support and Faculty Mentorship

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics supports faculty and student research in a wide range of scholarly interests. Faculty regularly contribute to scholarly publications and offer students opportunities to engage in faculty-mentored independent research.


Conference Travel Grants

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics encourages students to present their research at professional conferences, and will provide modest financial support for conference travel. Graduate students wishing to obtain Departmental support for travel to a professional meeting must also apply to the Graduate Studies Office, which funds travel up to $1,000 ($1,200 for international travel). Once the student portion of the travel funding request form is complete, the student forwards the form to their faculty mentor who completes an evaluation of the request and then forwards the form to the Chair. The faculty mentor should indicate the amount of funding, if any, they are able to provide to support student travel. The Chair will then complete an evaluation and determine the level of Department funding and forward the request to the Graduate Office.

Summer Research Fellowships

You will also have the opportunity to apply for Summer Research funding through the Graduate Studies Office to support travel and other expenses related to your research while in our program. Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowship awards are made on a competitive basis in the amount of $3,500 for work in June, July and August.
