Graduate Student Support

Motivation

The health of a graduate degree program, and its ability to attract new students, depends upon the ability to offer financial support in the form of teaching assistantships and graduate assistantships. Ideally, 100% of students in a graduate program are provided support.

Rollup

The total number of graduate students receiving TAs and RAs for a given semester, as well as the number of graduate students not receiving any support, from which a percentage can be provided.

Drilldown: by demographic

A breakout by demographic such as women and underrepresented groups can provide information on whether there are demographic variances.

Baseline

Data from peer institutions on the percentage of graduate students with support can provide useful context.
