Financial Support

All Ph.D. students are eligible to receive financial support for five years as graduate students. Support is available in the form of teaching assistantships, which enable graduate students to be self-sufficient. Several incoming graduate students are awarded fellowships each year, and some graduate students receive support in the form of research assistantships. Teaching experience is viewed as an essential part of graduate education, and all graduate students are expected to teach during at least three academic quarters of their graduate careers.
