Financing your Graduate Education
Campus bridge across
the Mississippi River |
For the 2008-2009 academic year, full-time
(6-14 credits) tuition will be $10,446 for in-state residents
and $17,544 for nonresidents per year.
Teaching, research,
and administrative assistantships and fellowships provide the most common
forms of support for graduate students. Assistantships may include
a stipend, cost of tuition and a health premium for university-subsidized
comprehensive health insurance. The health insurance package offers,
moreover, dental and dependent coverage with premiums substantially subsidized
by the Unviersity. Graduate assistants may expect to pay a
small percentage of the premium. For more information
on Graduate Assistant
Health Care Plan refer to their website. Since departments award
assistantships appointments as well as other field-specific fellowships
and traineeships, please contact the Director of Graduate Studies in your
program for more information. If program funds are limited, students
may find campus-wide assistantships through the Graduate
Assistantship Employment Office.
If you are a resident
of Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Manitoba, you may qualify
for reciprocity. What you pay depends upon your state of residence
and the program to which you are admitted.
