Summary
For incoming students, our financial support includes tuition plus $30,000 per year for the first five years of the PhD Program, assuming that the student maintains satisfactory progress in the PhD program.
In addition to the $30,000 support, tuition fees are covered for the first five years. The financial support of $30,000 per year is typically arranged in the following way:
First Year
$20,000 fellowship plus a summer research assistantship of $10,000.
Second Year
$20,000 research assistantship during the academic year plus a summer research assistantship of $10,000.
Third Year to Fifth Year
$20,000 combination of research assistantship and/or teaching assistantship during the academic year plus a summer research assistantship of $10,000.
Doctoral students are expected to be in residence year-round. For academic reasons, outside employment is discouraged. Course work, research papers, seminars, and summer research projects are all challenging and time-consuming.
Early application for admission to the doctoral program significantly increases opportunities for financial assistance.
