Most of our graduate students are supported as teaching assistants in their first year, although a first-year student may occasionally be granted support in the form of a research assistantship.  Teaching assistants are currently paid $16,605 for the ten-month teaching year, and the department supplements this with a $2,000 summer scholarship, bringing the total support for the year to $18,060.  The exact amount of an assistantship is set by the state legislature, and will normally increase each year.  In addition to this annual support, out-of-state tuition is waived, and we will pay at least $1,400 per semester of the registration fees, which are currently set at $2,606 per semester.
