In line with the school's belief that graduate study in art should be accessible to students from a diverse range of backgrounds, all incoming graduate students are awarded a fellowship the equivalent of full out-of-state tuition in the first year and full in-state tuition for the second year of the program (international students continue to receive out-of-state tuition in their second year). Students are responsible for covering all additional university fees including health insurance, campus fees, housing, and materials.
Additional financial support comes in the form of a host of department jobs that support its operations.
Teaching Opportunities
We do not offer traditional teaching assistantships. Graduate students interested in gaining teaching experience can do so via a for-credit, semester-long teaching mentorship under faculty supervision. Upon completion of the mentorship, students become qualified for teaching assignments as part-time lecturers.
NOTE: Graduate teaching positions or continuous teaching assignments are not guaranteed. Opportunities are contingent on faculty recommendation, experience, expertise, and position availability.
