Ph.D. Program

We look for people who will excel in their academic work and research, focus on topics that match the expertise of our faculty, and have the skills to work as teaching and/or research assistants.

• As of fall 2025, the amount and period of funding will be decided on a case by case basis.

• One member of the core Ph.D. faculty must accept mentorship responsibility for any student prior to their admittance to the doctoral program.
• Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact a core Ph.D. faculty member, and if possible, obtain a commitment to support the application. Having a clear and focused topic and research agenda for your PhD program will help the faculty decide if your interests overlap.
