Graduate Programs and Scholarship opportunities

Interested students are encouraged to look into the following graduate programs at the University of New Mexico:

Economics
Political Science
Sociology

Each department has its own strength and focus, and you are encouraged to visit the site to learn more about their programs. But, the Nepal Study Center's research activities can play a complementary role to enrich the research goal especially in the area of quantitative data analysis. An opportunity to conduct interdisciplinary research also exists.

Graduate assistantships are competitive and you must have 1) good GRE scores, 2) good TOEFL scores, 3) a coherent and innovative research plan, and 4) good reference letters.

Some Nepali students have taken advantage of the university's Amigo Scholarship.

During your graduate studies you should look for research fundings to support your thesis and/or dissertation work. A collection of such opportunities can be found here: http://nepal.himal.org/

Disclaimer: each department has its own admissions policy and standard guidelines. Fellowships are extremely competitive and limited, and these are just some suggestive venues without any guarantees.
