Courses

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.
