Our Ph.D. program is small and selective. Virtually all graduate students receive financial aid. Fellowships involve no duties. Teaching assistantships involve 10 to 20 hours of work per week.
Financial aid is usually available for four years, conditional on satisfactory academic progress.
Although the department cannot guarantee summer support, we have been able to support most of our students through summer research and teaching assistantships. The opportunities are funded by external research projects of faculty members and the Summer School. Applications for Admission with Financial Aid are due earlier than other applications. See Admissions to Graduate Studies for details.
