Time to Completion for All Students Entering the Program
Students entering the PhD program with prior graduate coursework may request substitution of prior coursework for certain program requirements. Time to completion is generally shorter for students entering with a prior master’s degree in a related field. However, the minimum time to completion for all students is five years, including the one-year predoctoral internship.
Program Costs
*All incoming students in the 2026-2027 cohort received a graduate assistantship that qualified them for a full tuition waiver. Applicants should consult the Graduate School Tuition and Fees webpage in the event they enroll without a qualifying assistantship. Tuition and an alternate fee structure are assessed to students who do not hold a graduate assistantship. This does not apply to any current students within the first five years of the program.
