Graduate students enrolled in thesis degree programs can be supported from a number of sources including departmental funds, research grants, and external fellowships. This support typically includes a monthly stipend and graduate tuition. • Ph.D. program: First-year Ph.D. students are supported by the Department. In subsequent years, students are supported from research funds—typically, their advisor’s grants and contracts. Ph.D. students are also encouraged to apply for external fellowships. • MS program: Students admitted to the Master of Science program can be supported by their research advisor. Such support is arranged directly with the advisor. • MCS program: The Master of Computer Science program is not a research degree program. The student’s primary responsibility is taking classes. Thus, students in the MCS program are not supported from research grants and contracts.
