Q: I've missed the two deadlines to apply. What can I do to still enter the Applied Program?

A: Please contact Dr. Norrbin at snorrbin@coss.fsu.edu

Q: I am not able to enter the program in the fall. Can I enter the Applied Program in the spring or the summer?

A: Yes, but the program is sequential so it might make the program take more than a year to complete. Please contact Dr. Norrbin at snorrbin@coss.fsu.edu so that he can look at your particular situation.

Q: Will I be disadvantaged in the program because I have never taken upper-level mathematics courses like Calculus, Calculus II, Linear Algebra...?

A: No, only a basic Calculus course (either Calculus I or Business Calculus) is sufficient for the Applied Masters program. Higher level mathematics courses are not useful for the program.

Q: How many students normally participate in the Applied Program each semester?

A: About 20 students are admitted each academic year.

Q: Will I be able to retain a job and still participate in the Applied Program or will my workload prevent me from working?

A: There is no prohibition against working while participating in the program; however, we generally discourage students from working many hours off-campus so that they may have ample time to devote to the curriculum.

Q: How do I apply to the scholarships and/or financial assistantships that FSU has to offer?

A: You are automatically considered for department funding when you apply to the Applied Masters program. If you are interested in student loans then visit http://www.finaid.edu/

Q: How do I qualify for the Graduate Assistantship

A: Each applicant is automatically considered for potential graduate assistantship funding.

Q: If I am an international student is my application still automatically reviewed for financial assistance?
