English Department provides four years of full
tuition support for full-time students pursuing the Ph.D. In addition,
Ph.D. students teach in undergraduate courses at CMU, earning a
yearly stipend. The teaching load is one course per semester.
Rhetoric students also have the opportunity to work
on funded research projects in rhetoric. A number of these projects
provide students with full, if temporary, funding. Students with
technical backgrounds may find free lance consulting, writing, editing,
and web design work. A competitive dissertation fellowship is also
available that provides Ph.D. candidates with a stipend while they
work full-time on their dissertations.
Of course, federal loan programs--interest deferred
while in school--provide supplemental income. The University also
offers no-interest, short term emergency loans to needy students.
See the CMU
Financial Aid Guide for complete information on these and other
programs.
