Funding and Packages

Ph.D Program

Doctoral students who apply for funding receive a six-year package that includes annual stipends, full tuition, fees, and health insurance costs for those students that use the University student health insurance. Over these six years, students typically will have the opportunity to serve as apprentices, teaching assistants and writing tutors and to teach their own courses. They will also devote at least three semesters exclusively to dissertation research and writing.

M.A. Program

Applicants to the full-time Master's Program receive in-state tuition rates, a small stipend, and health insurance costs for those students that use the University student health insurance. M.A. students serve as apprentices in return for their funding.
