Two years are typically needed for a student to complete the requirements for an MA degree. Most full-time students admitted into the PhD degree program receive a full scholarship. Also, single health insurance coverage is paid by the College for all full-time PhD students. Students have also elected to require single coverage for dental and vision for all full-time students enrolled in the health insurance plan. Payment for this coverage is paid by the student.
Scholarships permit students to devote full time to their studies and research.
