Do all admitted Ph.D. students receive funding? Does it matter whether I am an international applicant?

Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee funding. We do try to secure funding for incoming students, but you will only be considered for funding if your application is received by the posted deadline. After the first year of funding, given available funds, enrolled doctoral students will be reviewed and given funding pending availability of funds, but may be considered for future funding.

How long does the Ph.D. take?

The Ph.D. in CSD typically takes 4-5 years to complete. The first 2 years involve coursework. The comprehensive exam is typically completed in year 3. Once the comprehensive examination is completed, students will be designated as ABD (all but dissertation) and will be permitted to start their dissertation work, once they have defended their prospectus.

A: The authorization for an electronic 1098T is part of the online class registration process. Both a paper and an electronic copy of the 1098-T will be issued if class registration is processed by your college department.

Can I be excused from the TOEFL/IELTS requirements? What if my scores won't be available until after the deadline?

English language proficiency is a requirement for the doctoral program in CSD. You may still submit your application materials, but prospective students should provide ELP scores as soon as they are made available to be considered for admission into the Ph.D. program. Acceptance is not permissible without these scores. You should discuss with your prospective faculty mentor, should you find that your scores will be made available after the posted application deadline. Failure to do this may result in not being considered for funding.
