About the course

The PhD program has two stages: precandidacy and candidacy. A student in the PhD program may enter candidacy only after completing all precandidacy requirements. Admission to candidacy is granted only if the student's performance on the General Examination and in courses gives a good indication of success in candidacy, passing the General Examination at the minimum level does not necessarily give this indication. The prospective dissertation advisor makes this judgment and recommends advancement to candidacy if he or she is confident that the student will be able to complete candidacy. Teaching assistantships are available for full-time Ph.D. students. Each assistant gains teaching experience with a moderate workload, leading recitations for one introductory undergraduate course per semester. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
