JPSM, in a
unique partnership, brings together faculty from the University of Maryland and
the University of Michigan, as well as researchers from Westat, a leading
survey organization based in Rockville, MD. Through its educational offerings
the Joint Program attempts to serve both professionals currently working in
statistical agencies and survey organizations, and to educate the next
generation of survey professionals.
Each summer JPSM
sponsors a Junior Fellows Program
for a limited number of extremely successful and talented undergraduate
students. Successful applicants are granted paid research assistantships
in a Federal or private statistical agency in the Washington, DC area. They
participate in weekly seminars at JPSM and elsewhere in the area on survey
methodology and career options in survey research. Throughout the summer students
learn about surveys, statistics, graduate studies, and how statistical
agencies and survey organizations work, and they meet other students from
across the country along with the JPSM faculty.
