Financial Aid, Teaching Assistantships, and Fellowships
All students accepted into the program receive financial support, including
a stipend and tuition. If the student performs as expected, that support
will be continued for five years. Support is provided by a number of
sources including the Department's Graduate Studies Endowments, the
John Derrickson McCurdy Fellowship, the Fellowship in Curatorial Studies
and the University's special awards, such as the James B. Duke, Medieval
and Renaissance Studies, Duke Endowment, and International Fellowships.
Students may also apply for dissertation travel awards, summer stipends,
and travel support for delivering papers at conferences. Teaching experience
is regarded as an important part of graduate education; all students
will be expected to participate in undergraduate courses as Graduate
Teaching Assistants and Instructional Assistants. Students at an advanced
stage are encouraged to gain teaching experience through the Summer
School. Students who have finished their prelims and have completed
the basic research for their dissertations may also petition to teach
their own upper-level course in the department.
Study in Venice
The graduate program has an exchange agreement with the Scuola di Studi Avanzati in Venice, and both faculty and students may have the opportunity to teach or study at the other institution for a semester. Students who wish to apply to study in Venice for a semester should discuss this option with their advisor. If selected for the program, study will be covered by their graduate fellowship at Duke.
Summer Humanities Seminar in Venice
Professor Caroline Bruzelius and Professor Donatella Calabi of Venice International University
offer jointly a summer seminar in Venice for advanced graduate students in the Humanities. link
