Graduate Finances

Several types of financial aid are available to graduate students in the Ph.D. program: Scholarships and fellowships (both national and University), research and teaching assistantships, and loans. The Department generally is able to offer financial assistance to all students in the Ph.D. program who are making satisfactory progress. This assistance normally covers the full cost of tuition and an additional amount for living expenses during the academic year. The latter amount is usually in the form of a stipend, teaching assistantship, or research assistantship. Although the Department cannot formally guarantee support beyond the first year, it expects to continue to provide five years of support for students who enter the Ph.D. program without a Master's degree, and four years of support for those who enter with a Master's degree.

Current financial information is available in the on-line through Graduate Admissions.
