Within the metropolitan
area comprising the Capital District, a variety of employment
opportunities are available for family members of graduate students.
Because the state capital is in Albany, New York State is one
of the largest employers in the area. Many area companies, such
as General
Electric, Coromed,
Inc., Albany
Molecular Research, Regeneron
Pharmaceuticals, and Nycomed,
Inc. also offer the possibility of employment, as do numerous
hospitals, schools and banks.
Rensselaer's Office
of Continuing Studies operates a number of programs, including
part-time graduate study, the Rensselaer Accelerated Master's
Program (RAMP), regular summer sessions of degree-credit courses,
and short non-credit courses for personnel from industry, government,
and other institutions. These offerings present an excellent opportunity
for family members of graduate students to continue their education.
