Students are expected to devote full-time (12 months per year) to their academic and research training. Any form of outside employment is strictly forbidden. The IBT does not require teaching or laboratory assistantships. Graduate students are expected to learn to be independent scientific investigators. Graduate education for all IBT students is supported by the IBT, TAM-HSC, individual professor’s research grants, or outside awards. Entering graduate students will receive 12 month stipends for up to 5 years. After the first year, students are encouraged to compete at the National level for independent funds to support their education. Out-of-State Tuition and Fees are paid by the IBT. Texas A&M provides the same health and accident insurance benefits for graduate students as it does for its professors.
