7 Countries Where Graduate School Is a Fraction of US Costs

I strongly favor Americans going overseas while they are students, and going overseas as part of a degree program is one way to do that. But another way to obtain an affordable graduate degree is to obtain that in a field that has sufficient third-party support that all graduate students at all the better United States universities are fully supported. Most science and engineering fields, including mathematics, are like that.

for tips on how to obtain an affordable graduate degree in mathematics without having to leave the United States.

Having met graduates of these "esteemed" graduate schools, I think that their degrees are exactly worth the tuition they paid. Which is to say, that I would trust the average community college graduate more than some from Ecoles.

America may suck balls at the pre-12 level, but college and up, even our community colleges kick the world's ass.
