What you will study

Although there are a number of required courses for all Ph.D. students, your program of study will be individually tailored to meet your particular needs and goals. Your program of study is not cast in stone once it has been approved and filed with the Ph.D. program office. However, any changes must be approved in writing by your unit coordinator and the Ph.D. program office. The rate of progress in the Ph.D. program may be a factor in the allocation of competitive awards. These awards include fellowships as well as graduate research and teaching assistantships.
