Key facts

A big part of your graduate experience will be related to how you financially handle being in grad school. It is typical for your tuition to be covered under the University's Tuition Benefits Program, which is available to you if you serve as a Teaching Assistant (TA) or work as a Research Assistant (RA) for your thesis advisor. While there are time limitations, you will find that the benefits offered by the University enable you to keep focused on progressing toward your degree, while providing allowance for day-to-day expenses, including health insurance.

The handbook contains information on the graduate experience in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. We cover the rules—namely degree requirements such as which courses to take, what exams you'll need to pass, as well as policy regarding teaching assistant-ships (TA), the all-important rules of tuition benefits, and even a little about life as a graduate student. We start you off with this link, it points to the Graduate School, the ultimate authority on policy concerning all of the University of Utah's graduate programs. Please peruse it for the wealth it contains! We hope that it helps make your graduate experience here in our own Department rich and rewarding!
