DEPARTMENT APPLICATION DEADLINE:
DECEMBER 26 FOR ALL MATERIALS
Each year we matriculate approximately five new students in our doctoral program. Students admitted to the Ph.D. program receive complete funding packages from The Graduate School. The package covers tuition, fees, and living expenses funded through a combination of fellowships and teaching. Benefits include medical and dental insurance. Small incoming classes allow for close working relationships with faculty, as well as individually-tailored courses of study. Students enjoy opportunities to teach in the Language Program, T.A. with faculty, and eventually to design and teach their own course.
