Funding

The RCoB PhD Program provides funding support to qualified doctoral students for up to four years, based on academic performance. Students making satisfactory progress normally receive a tuition benefit that covers almost all tuition and fees, are eligible for a waiver of out-of-state tuition, and receive funding in the form of a graduate assistantship and student health insurance. The assistantship and scholarship awards are announced when admission decisions are made.

Assistantships and scholarships are awarded competitively and are approved in consultation with the Department Chair and the appropriate departmental committee, with recommendations forwarded to the RCoB Ph.D. Program Office.

Our program is a full-time, in-residence, research-based program, and our students are active members of the department through research and teaching.
