Structure | Coursework | Admissions | Financial Assistance | Legalese

According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, students (persons admitted and enrolled in the program) have the right to inspect letters of recommendation written in support of an application for admission and financial assistance. In addition, the law permits students to expressly waive the right to inspect letters submitted in their behalf, although such a waiver must be voluntary and cannot be a condition of admission, award, or employment. Recommendation forms contain areas wherein applicants may waive access if they so choose.

The SDSU/UCSD Joint Ph.D. in Mathematics and Science Education is a full-time program. Admitted students work as research or teaching assistants to earn their stipends and register for a full graduate load each term. Students may not hold other positions or forms of employment while enrolled in the joint doctoral program.
