Our goal is to provide financial support for all of our doctoral students during at least their first three years in the program (the time during which the large majority of students complete their required course work). Teaching fellowships and research assistantships are paid over 8 months for the academic year. The stipend amount for 8 months is $17,500. The teaching fellowships and research assistantships cover full tuition and medical insurance.
