| STUDENT FINANCIAL SUPPORT - DOCTORAL PROGRAM | ||||
| OVERVIEW | ||||
All Ph.D. graduate students are guaranteed support for five years of study, contingent on satisfactory progress in the program. Such support includes the annual stipend (set each year by the faculty) and full payment of tuition and academic year fees. Support may be provided in the form of a fellowship, traineeship, Teaching Assistantship, Research Assistantship or a combination of these, depending on student qualifications and the availability of specific funds. Students studying for a Master's degree are not guaranteed support. However, the department makes every effort to provide Master's students with Teaching Assistantships.
|
||||
 |
During the first year of study, students are supported with a twelve month award. This can be in the form | |||
| of a fellowship, a traineeship, a Teaching Assistantship or a combination of these. | ||||
|
During the second year, students are generally supported in both semesters of the academic year by | |||
| Teaching Assistantships, unless they have alternate support. | ||||
|
Beginning in the summer of the second year, if a student is not supported by a traineeship or fellowship, | |||
| she/he is generally supported as a Research Assistant with funds derived from the research grants of her/his Major Professor and/or Teaching Assistant. | ||||
|
The potential number of years of support remaining for a student who has obtained a Master's degree, | |||
| or switched from a Master's degree program to our Ph.D. program, will be determined by the Graduate Committee at the time the student enters the Ph.D. program after evaluation of the student's status with regard to fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. | ||||
