Support Paid to Students in Major

Students supported on October, 2000 payroll: 78 (70.00 % of total students)

Fellows Trainees PAs RAs TAs
Total 6 6 14 7 45
Female 4 4 6 2 10
Minority 1 2 1 0 0
Domestic 4 6 3 3 11


Included in this table are all students listing this major as their first major. However, they may be paid by a different department. These figures do not represent the proportion of dollars paid in each category.

For each student who is paid as a Fellow, Trainee, PA, RA, or TA anywhere in the University and for whom this major is listed as the first major, 1 (one) is added to the number of students supported. However, because some students receive more than one kind of support, fractions are apportioned among support categories. For example, a student with a 40% appointment as an RA and a 40% appointment as a TA adds .5 to the number of RAs and .5 to the number of TAs no matter how much the student is paid: that student has a total 80% appointment, half of which is TA and half RA.


Support Paid by Department

UDDS Total Fellows/Trainees PAs RAs TAs
4822 $ 685,791 $ 164,992 $ 55,737 $ 54,199 $ 410,862

The above figures represent dollars paid last year by the department responsible for this major to students with graduate appointments. Some of this money may have been paid to students in majors outside of the department.

Many programs prescreen applicants, eliminating applications prior to arrival at the Graduate School. Consequently, applicant numbers are not reported here as the Graduate School may have data only for a portion of total applications received.
