Graduate Program

Financial Assistance

Financial assistance in the form of tuition remission is available to incoming students. The average tuition remission has ranged in the past few years between 50 and 65 percent. Remission is based on both financial need and academic merit. Applicants interested in tuition remission should be sure to complete the financial aid forms included in the application packet.

After their first semester in the program students in good academic standing can apply for a Teaching Assistantship. These are granted on a course-by-course basis and currently pay $4,265 per course (or, when a course breaks into discussion sections, per section, though students rarely are assigned more than one section per semester). Most students who apply for a TAship for any given term receive one.
