Graduate costs
The cost of attendance for graduate students varies depending on the number of required credits, in-state or out-of-state status, and program modality. Graduate students are billed each semester based on their courseload, so the cost can fluctuate each semester.
The Office of Student Financial Assistance has more information about current costs of attendance for graduate students. The Office of International Services also publishes costs for international students, including mandatory health insurance.
If you need help calculating your anticipated cost of attendance, feel free to reach out to our Student Central team at any time. They are always happy to help!

Financial Assistance
While funding is not guaranteed, most admitted PhD students receive Student Academic Appointments (SAAs) that include full tuition remission, a monthly stipend, and student health insurance. These positions involve part-time teaching or research duties. SAA decisions are made automatically during the application review process, and selected students are notified upon admission.
SAA consideration is competitive, so it is recommended to apply by the priority application deadline.
Note: A separate SAA application is not required.
