Basically, you must complete the requirements listed below. We try to fund all of our PhD students. These funding opportunities include both teaching and research assistantships. Graduate Teaching Assistantships are nine-month appointments from August 16 to May 15 of each year. Duties include teaching laboratories, recitation sections or introductory courses under the supervision of a faculty member.
Duties can also include assisting with the departmental computer systems.
Tuition and fees are waived for the nine-month appointments but students must pay the Mountainlair and PRT fees. For students who wish to take summer courses, every effort is made to provide summer support for those who desire funding. Graduate Research Assistantships vary in the duties required.
