Several intramural programs in basketball, softball and other sports welcome graduate student participation. An excellent golf course is located on campus. Graduate students may obtain tickets to all home football, basketball and hockey games. All students accepted for the Ph.D. programs are given a comprehensive financial package.

All students receive summer research appointments.
In addition to several University fellowships, current department fellowships include the Amoco Fellowship, J. Peter Grace Prize Fellowships, Lubrizol Fellowship, Reilly Fellowships, Rohm and Haas Fellowship, George M. Wolf Graduate Fellowship, Zahm Fellowships and Nieuwland Fellowships.
