A majority of our graduate students receive some kind of financial assistance. Graduate assistants must meet or exceed all criteria for maintaining graduate status and make satisfactory progress toward the degree. Graduate students are limited to no more than the equivalent of six full-time quarters of service as graduate teaching assistants. TAs are required to be enrolled full time. These assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis.
International students become eligible for TAs following completion of their first year of study.
Normally RAs are offered to students in their second year of study and require a full-time commitment. In addition to these programs, the University sponsors a limited number of competitive scholarships to help defray the costs of obtaining a graduate education. Contact the Graduate Office for more information.
