Financial Assistance
Financial support for students accepted into our graduate program generally includes stipends and remission of tuition. Our base stipend, covering the 9-month academic year, is awarded in the form of research assistantships, fellowships, or teaching assistantships; summer support is provided from faculty research or university funds. The annual stipend for the 2009-2010 academic year is $27,000. Research assistantships are provided with funds from faculty research grants, while teaching assistantships are provided based on service in undergraduate lecture or laboratory courses.
