1) How is the attrition rate? About what percentage of PhD students pass the comprehensive exams? It varies from year to year, but on average I would say it is an 80-90% pass rate.
2) How many (percent) students complete the program within 5 years? Will the department fund students beyond 5th year? Ours is a five year program, so the majority of students complete in five years. Under very unusual circumstances, it is possible for students to be supported by individual faculty members beyond that. But this is at the faculty member’s discretion, and will be dependent on their work with the student up to that point. Our departmental policy is support through the 5th year.
3) Does the University provide housing? Unfortunately, no.
4) I suppose the stipend is yearly, for 12 months. Do the department/university provide extra summer support? Are you asking about the first summer, or subsequent ones? There are usually some GA opportunities available in summers after the first one.
Lastly, I still would like to know more details about the assistantship for years 2-5, e.g. how much is the workload (per week) in both semesters and summer, etc. Please let me know if the details are set. It varies, but usually it is 20 hours/week.作者: ωκδεθψ 时间: 2016-4-7 17:38:55
