About PhD Program,
The Graduate Program of the Department is administered by the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS), in consultation with the Chair of the Department. These two officers are the Department’s spokespersons on matters of policies and procedures as they pertain to departmental and university requirements and regulations.
Students consult regularly with the DGS concerning their intellectual interests and choices, as well as their course selection and academic performance in meetings scheduled from their first semester and throughout their graduate career. Also in keeping with our commitment to fostering communication, a meeting of all students with the Chair and DGS will be scheduled each semester. A third channel for the exchange of ideas is offered by the graduate liaison committee (GLC) composed of graduate students representatives from each year who are expected to consult with the DGS throughout the term to communicate student concerns and suggestions.
Fourth year students and up can keep their advisors/second reader/examiners format. Students in 1st, 2nd and 3rd years will now have a committee of 3 (including and advisor). Students should choose their 3rd committee member by September 30 of their 5th semester.

PhD Funding Coverage,
At Princeton, we see a direct relationship between strong financial support and the capacity to break new academic ground. We guarantee full funding to all degree-seeking Ph.D. candidates during their regular enrollment period. It’s an investment in our students and also in the University community, cultivating a unique academic environment in which creative thinking and original scholarship thrive.
Fellowships are the primary source of funding in Princeton’s financial support model for degree candidates in the humanities and social sciences. All students during their regular enrollment period are covered fully via a University Fellowship, unless they hold alternate sources of funding. Additional fellowships are also offered by the Graduate School and campus partners, some of which offer a higher stipend rate. Premium-rate honorific fellowships are awarded to select later-stage Ph.D. students whose research shows exceptional promise.
