Give it to me straight about Claremont Graduate University

Recommended Posts

I'm feeling very conflicted right now, and could use some advice.

Essentially, I was accepted, fully-funded with a TA-ship, to a mid-ranked program that I was not initially in love with but have since found the faculty extremely welcoming and encouraging. I grew increasingly thrilled by this, but also hoped that my girlfriend would be accepted by any of the nearby schools to which she applied. This unfortunately did not pan out, but we were both accepted to Claremont Graduate School, a program that we admittedly did not research quite enough before we decided to submit applications. What we've since learned is that CGU does not offer fully funded PhD's (merely scholarships which cover a percentage: 70% in my case and 30% in hers), and has no opportunities for TA-ships, though one could theoretically apply for an adjunct position themselves at any of the sister schools in the area. Originally we thought it better for me to accept my first offer, and for her to follow me there while she plans for the upcoming application season. Now that the deadline to submit a $200 deposit is here however, I'm having some second thoughts.

My main problem is that I cannot tell how legitimate CGU is: it is ranked a bit higher than the school that offered me a funded opportunity, sure, but without funding it does seem significantly easier to be accepted here. The location seems a million times lovelier than the other school I am considering, but I'm worried that the program at CGU will feel too shoddy -- more like I am investing in them than they are investing in me. I don't want to regret turning down a great opportunity, but I also can't shake the thought that CGU could work, and that even without full funding (granted, I would have to figure out some sort of employment/perhaps take out more loans...) CGU might still offer me an excellent education and career opportunities while keeping a personal relationship that is very important to me intact.

Any thoughts? I would be so grateful.

First off, I know very little about Claremont other than the fact that the campus is beautiful (I've been there during a PAMLA conference one year), but I know a year or two ago they got in trouble for lying about either their SAT or GRE scores so that their ranking could be higher, so that's one thing to keep in mind. The other is that Claremont is in California, which everyone should know isn't the most ideal place to live on a small budget. If I were you, I would look into the cost of living in the area and compare it to the other school that you were accepted at. Be realistic about how much money you could actually make and survive on if you went to Claremont. If the other school allows you to breathe a little easier, you should probably take that one. The other point I wanted to make is that you should never pay to go to grad school in the humanities especially if your sole goal in life is to become a professor. Go where the money is. When a school offers you a fully-funded package, that means they want you. Trust me, you'll thrive in a program that makes it very clear to you that they want you. If you didn't feel that kind of vibe from Claremont (whether during your visit or through other methods of communication), it's best that you let it go.

Seconded. Never pay for a humanities Ph.D. Ever.

I was accepted to Claremont as well a couple years ago but was very turned off by the lack of funding for students. 70%? What the heck is that all about?

I did hear their creative writing program is really awesome, though. 

Fully-funded offer every time. The fully-funded is more likely to be able to support you in other ways - conferences, etc. If there was the potential for a fully-funded package say in the second year at Claremont, then I would say consider it. But from what you've said, it doesn't appear to be the case. If you think you could be happy at the other school, go with the money.

Now that the deadline to submit a $200 deposit is here however, I'm having some second thoughts.  

That tells you everything you need to know really. I've never heard of a deposit for a PhD program in the Humanities.

• lyonessrampant

I mean, it should go without saying that the market isn't pretty. You should do everything possible to reduce the amount of debt you take on through the entire process, including not paying for a PhD. You should be focused on developing as a scholar, not worrying about how much extra money you're taking on to complete your degree. It's an irresponsible practice.

Another thing to consider is what is each dept's time to degree. For example, 6 years of 70% versus 5 of funded is a big difference.

I'm a Scripps student (one of the surrounding undergrad schools).  I'll warn you: CGU has a pretty pathetic reputation amongst english profs at the Claremont schools. Their program is "a mess" according to my advisor. They don't fund many students because they want to raise money-- it's a business, not a strong education program.  Don't go into debt over CGU.

There are some awesome professors at Scripps and the other sister schools, though. 

Really? I had to pay to hold my spot. It is a very common practice, from my understanding, as it tells the university that you are invested in going there the next year.

I don't know much about Claremont, other than it has a very pretty campus. I know of someone who went to Claremont for a theology PhD, which was also not fully funded, and they are in extraordinary debt because of it. I honestly don't know anything about the school academically, though.

Even if you say Claremont is a little bit better ranked than the program that offered you full funding, I'd say the fully funded program will probably be able to offer you more support and resources overall (financial and otherwise). I agree with what everyone's been saying thus far.

• 1 year later...

I'd pay $200k for a PhD if it meant I got a job afterwards. 

Or, you know, you could go to a fully-funded program with a solid placement record. Just a thought.

I am not an expert, but in my understanding, most schools don't harvest funding for research from undergraduate tuition. Typically that funding comes from research grants or endowments. Undergraduate tuition goes to the benefit of the, you know, undergraduates.

And damn, if you go $200k in debt to get a teaching job, you're gonna have to make a lot of sacrifices to pay that off...

Depends on the field. Rhet/Comp is heavily subsidized by undergrads, but that's because grad students serve as TAs/instructor of record for their own classes. I would imagine that's the case in a lot of fields where grad students teach

Definitely! But that wasn't one of the options :/

1Q84 was giving very sound advice that folks should only attend fully funded PhD programs. This response isn't warranted or even relevant to the conversation.

And it only took you 46 days to come up with that burn...!

But I should add that you don't know anything about my employment history so your assumption that I've never taught before entering my Ph.D. program is off-base. (For future reference, I've adjuncted for a few years so I have a decent sense of the vicissitudes of the academic job market, thanks.)

And where did you get your PhD? Oh wait, you didn't. At least not according to your profile. 

Glad to hear that Claremont is setting up their grad students with "adjunct jobs," however. That's comforting. 

Damn, it's like a house on fire over here.

Just to add another perspective to drugazi's data here, from my own empirical observations of a field I am intimately familiar with, to get a professorship teaching Russian Lit at almost any college, your chances are best if you have immigrated from the former USSR in the 80s.

8 hours ago, drugazi said: It took me 46 days to login again and see your patronising actually ... 

No, the one being patronizing here was you, suggesting that people take advice from you because you're "on the other side of the podium." Your reaction--to question people's credentials--was uncalled for.

The original advice stands: it's right to suggest that people not attend unfunded programs--especially when there are programs in the same area of the country that DO have decent funding. 

9 hours ago, drugazi said: See above 

A placement rate is a percentage,  i.e.  the number of graduates who have secured tenure-track  or permanent NTT jobs in academia over the total number of graduates. Adjunct positions (and several of the people on your list are adjuncts, others are ambiguous) are not counted as "placements", and for good reason.

I have $40k in debt, personally. To live comfortably, the federal government informed me in my exit paperwork that I should be looking for a job with a salary of around $70k per year. I shudder to think of what they would "recommend" if I had to pay just my living expenses for the duration of my PhD.

Maybe not "adjuncts," but the first three on your list work at CCs (that was as far as I went). Also - a classy and collegial move on your part to associate these poor profs' names with the weird point you are trying to prove on the internet.

I did some searching on CGU's alumni page, and they do list some English PhDs and where they've gone:  http://cgu.edu/pages/11733.asp

This doesn't look to be a complete list, though--or at least I hope it isn't a complete list, because it only has two placements from the last 5 years or so (and one of them is working as an adjunct). In any case, I wouldn't be wild about attending a program that isn't forthcoming enough about its placement record to put it on their webpage. 

If I were an incoming grad student, I would also want more info about how CGU has weathered the job market recently (everything post-Recession), because that's what's going to count for anyone starting grad school in this financial climate. Placing a student 15 years ago really doesn't tell us much about the value of the degree in the here and now. 

By googling around a bit, I was able to find a few professors who got a PhD at Claremont--one at SIU, one at CSU-Northridge, one at Chapman and a VAP at Harvey Mudd College. They all graduated pre-Recession and most of them graduated back in the 80s or 90s. 

If there is indeed a placement page from CGU's English program that indicates a more robust and recent placement record, then I'll be happy to be corrected on this. 

I'd also be willing to believe CGU has produced scholars who have gone on and gotten TT jobs. I don't think 1Q84 was denying that. But I imagine some of the folks you name (like your mom) graduated and were hired 5+ years ago. Times have changed. The academy is a precarious place right now; even attending an Ivy no longer comes with a job guarantee. I see some full-time NTT jobs listed at $30-40,000 a year. Given the economic climate, it's just not sound advice to suggest that someone take $200K out in loans for a PhD in the Humanities. It's just not. This isn't about CGU as an institution or the people who graduated from there. It's about adjunctification, shrinking English departments, and anti-humanities rhetoric (if I hear another GOP candidate mention philosophy majors...). 

I know it feels like folks are attacking your institution, drugazi. I know it feels personal. But the advice isn't personal: it's prudent. That's all.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

University Policies.   University policies detailed in the Academic Policies    section of the Bulletin apply.

Doctoral students in Education are provided with a number of advising resources to facilitate progress toward the degree.

Faculty Advisor.   Upon admission, students are assigned a faculty advisor based upon interests expressed in the individual’s application for admission. Advisors assist students in selecting courses and planning a program of study. As student interests change and develop during coursework, a different faculty member may be identified as the advisor.  In such an event, the program office should be notified with a Change of Advisor form.

Advisors supervise one qualifying exam, serve as chair of the student’s program committee, and may serve as chair of the student’s dissertation committee.

Program Committee.   Program committees consist of the supervisors of the student’s first and second qualifying exams, as well as a third faculty member of the student’s choosing who agrees to serve on the dissertation committee.  The chair must be a member of the Education faculty and is typically the student’s advisor.  One member of the committee may be drawn from the wider CGU graduate faculty, including professors from other CGU fields and core faculty from the other Claremont Colleges.

Dissertation Committee.   Policies and procedures are detailed in the Academic Policies - Doctoral Degree Regulations    section of the Bulletin.

Institutional Review Board . The University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) works closely with students and dissertation committee chairs throughout the development of the dissertation proposal.  The responsibility of the IRB is to ensure that correct procedures for review of research methodology are followed. The IRB seeks to protect the rights and welfare of individuals recruited for, or participating in, research conducted by faculty or students under the auspices of CGU. Regardless of funding support, all research with human subjects must be reviewed by the IRB for the protection of human subjects in compliance with federal guidelines.

Joint Doctoral Program

CGU offers students the opportunity to earn the doctorate in Education through a joint program with San Diego State University (SDSU).  For information, refer to the program section for the joint doctoral program with SDSU   .

There is an urgent need for highly educated professionals to understand research and best practices in order to assist schools and practicing educators in increasing overall achievement in the U.S. and closing the persistent achievement gap between students from different socioeconomic and ethnic groups. To that end, the concentration in K12 Education and Equity will center around classes and research experiences aimed at merging accountability in education with a focus on justice.

Higher Education/Student Affairs

CGU’s diverse and experienced student body in Higher Education/Student Affairs is comprised mainly of working professionals. Study is based on a multidisciplinary view of theory and research, and a commitment to developing educational environments that are just, relevant, and rigorous.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
