Semesters (MASS) at Penn State REUs and Other Summer Programs See the AMS Research Experience for Undergraduates Summer Programs as well as the NSF REU website Also, see the listings at summer programs as well as Engineering REU Trinity College REU expects funding for 2008. MIT Lincoln Labs offers summer programs (for US citizens only). See http://www.ll.mit.edu/careers/summerundergrad.html Summer programs for women Program for Women and

AMS list of
student opportunities University
of Arizona list of internships and summer opportunities Note that some knowledge of programming is required (which is generally a good idea for math/stat majors who want to broaden their post-MHC options). Mentoring and Career Programs Careers in Mathematics from the AWM (Association for Women in Mathematics).Mathematical Sciences Career Information sponsored by the AMS, SIAM and MAA (American Mathematical Society, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Association of America). Also see their new Early Career Profile Network, including job profiles of recent bachelor's level alumni here. In addition, SIAM has their own website on careers here.
AWM Mentor Network is another resource from the
AWM. Math
Will Rock Your World
is the cover article in Business Week
1/23/2006; it makes the case that "There has never been a better time
to be a mathematician," in terms of career opportunities. The Educational Resources Group is a job-placement service for teachers. The Teach for America program recruits college graduates (especially mathematics and science majors) to teach for two years in challenging school districts. The Actuarial Society of New York website will tell you about actuarial careers and events in the New York City area. The website Be An Actuary.org is a good source for information about the actuarial profession and scholarships for students of the actuarial sciences. The Casualty Actuary Society website is probably your best source for information on the actuarial exams. The Educational Testing Service is the home of the Graduate Record Exam. For careers at MIT Lincoln Labs, see this web page.
Professional
master's
degrees If you google on professional master's degree, you'll find lots of specific programs. In 1998-2000, a list of programs offering a professional master's degree was put together by the American Mathematical Society, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and Mathematician for Education Reform. To find that list, click here. Scholarship Opportunities AMS guide to Assistantships and Fellowships in the Mathematical Sciences Be An Actuary.
