Admissions
Official TOEFL scores from the Educational Testing Service are required if you are an international student whose native language is not English. International applicants whose first language is not English must attain either a minimum TOEFL (administered by the Educational Testing Service) score of 577 (paper-based test), 90 (internet-based test), or an IELTS (administered by the University of Cambridge, Local Examinations Syndicate) score of 7.0.
Financial Assistance
If there are adequate funds, graduate students receiving a fellowship or teaching assistantship/teaching fellowship who have demonstrated high-quality graduate work can expect to have financial aid renewed for up to two years. Renewal beyond the second year occurs only if they have successfully passed the PhD preliminary examination by April of the second year. Renewal beyond the third year similarly depends upon passing the PhD comprehensive exam. Beyond that, additional financial aid from the department will be contingent upon a yearly review assessing progress toward completing the dissertation and, under normal conditions, can continue for five years. A graduate student who has not passed these examinations, as described above, is not eligible for additional financial assistance until these examinations are passed.
