Program Resources
All ISyE PhD students are provided funding and tuition remission, provided they are making satisfactory academic progress. This funding may be in the form of a teaching assistant, research assistant, or project assistant position, or as an external fellowship. The type position providing the funding support may change from semester to semester and is determined based on a combination of factors including the availability of research funds by the student’s faculty advisor and the need for teaching assistants in ISyE courses.
Requirements for students assigned teaching assistant positions
Students hired into a TA position are required to attend the New Educator Orientation (NEO) training in late August. For more details, please see this website.
All international students assigned to a teaching assistant position must meet the UW–Madison Graduate School’s requirement for spoken English. This requirement can be fulfilled in two ways:
- Pass the SPEAK—you can register for the SPEAK test through Aaron Webster in Room 3180 ME, aaron.webster@wisc.edu.
- Receive a 26 or higher on the speaking portion of the TOEFL test (or equivalent). Provide a copy of your score to Aaron Webster in Room 3107 ME, aaron.webster@wisc.edu
