Interdisciplinary: Ph.D. Program In The Built Environment
Specific Student Support
Though some students will be self-financed, three major sources will be combined to support our students: College, Departmental, and Unit Fellowship funds; Departmental and College TA/RA positions; Faculty-generated Grant and Contract funding. The intent is that those students who are awarded funding will usually receive Fellowships in the first year as they become acquainted with Program faculty and research agendas; then serve as TAs/RAs in their second year, using their own expertise in a match with Program and College activities; then in the third and following years, in conjunction with specialization in the area of the dissertation project, work as an active member of a funded research project. The faculty members who elect to work with the Ph.D. Program agree to actively pursue and obtain grants and contracts to provide funding for their projects and students, both as part of their mentoring responsibility and because such collaboration is essential for the faculty's research projects.
