Every attempt is made to provide doctoral students a minimum of one year of research assistantship.
Most students teach for at least one year during their doctoral studies and most are offered opportunities to teach or conduct research with faculty for additional compensation during the summer sessions. Research opportunities for doctoral students are also available through several of the College's research centers . To defray in-state tuition fees, a limited number of Graduate Academic Scholarships are also available to doctoral candidates. The faculty in the College of Business strongly encourage doctoral students' presentation of research at professional meetings, as well as written publications in scholarly and professional journals. To assist in this endeavor, the Graduate College provides research and professional travel funds to outstanding doctoral students for the conduct and presentation of their research.
