Graduate Funding

Support Throughout Your Degree Program

Teaching and Research Assistantships

All full-time BME doctoral students in good academic standing are supported financially during their graduate studies. This includes an annual stipend, in-state tuition, out-of-state tuition (if applicable), and health insurance.

Support is typically provided by the faculty adviser, using funds from the adviser's research grant or the department-wide training grants (see the following section), contingent upon the student's satisfactory academic progress and good standing in the BME program. Students can also be supported through teaching assistantships.

Teaching and research assistantships for master's students are handled on a case-by-case basis. Master's students may also be supported by a variety of fellowships and scholarships.

Detailed information about teaching and research assistantships is available in the UA Graduate College GA Manual.
