Many students entering our graduate program receive financial aid from one of two sources.
First, the Department offers teaching and research assistantships. These assistantships usually require about 15 hours of service per week. Graduate assistants also receive a very attractive package of fringe benefits which includes medical insurance and full tuition remission. The department gives Graduate School fellows an assistantship at the start of their third year in our program. Work study funds, tuition waivers, and loans are also available.
