 Prior Graduate Work: Students who have graduate course credit from another institution prior to enrollment (e.g., from a master’s program), may be able to apply some credits for previously completed courses to the requirements for the doctoral degree if the student earned a B or better in the course and Rutgers program faculty consider the course equivalent to one taught at Rutgers after reviewing the syllabus for the external course.  This does not typically reduce time to completion, as generally only electives or quantitative courses are considered equivalent to those offered in the program.

NA

University/institution fees or costs

$2,247

Additional estimated fees or costs to students (e.g., books travel, etc.)

$600

Estimated Total

$20,583 (in-state) and $32,991 (out-of-state)

Note: International Students are charged the following fees: International Student Fee $230.00, Major Medical Coverage Plan $967.00, and a $250.00-$335.00 SEVIS Administration Fee, per semester, for F1 and JI visa holders.

  

All students receive full financial support (a Fellowship, Teaching Assistantship, or Graduate Assistantship) that covers all tuition and provides an annual stipend. At the present time, Fellows receive a stipend of $25,000 and TA/GAs receive a salary of $28,569. All students are guaranteed support for five years provided they are in good standing in the program. Students are also eligible for summer support through TA and GA positions. These summer appointments usually carry a stipend of $1,700-$3,300, depending on responsibilities. Students are strongly encouraged to apply for residency in New Jersey as soon as they are eligible to reduce tuition costs and enable the department to support more students.  Students in their 6thyear and beyond are given low priority for departmental funding.
