Graduate Student Life

The student body in the Ph.D. program numbers about 40 students. It is a diverse group, yet a close-knit community. It includes residents of India, Nepal, Russia, Estonia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Trinidad and Tobago, Cape Verde, Sri Lanka, Japan, China, Vietnam, Ecuador, the United States, Senegal, Ghana, and Cameroon. It also includes several "non-traditional" students who have resumed study for a Ph.D. after several years in careers inside and outside of academia.

Students find Worcester a relatively inexpensive place to live with ready access by bus or rail to the New York, Boston, and Providence metropolitan areas. Worcester itself is home to New England's second largest art museum, a lively arts scene, and a range of ethnic cuisines including Vietnamese, Italian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Polish, traditional American barbecue, Cajun from Louisiana, and more. Mechanics Hall, a restored concert hall of the 1850s, features a wide range of music and other arts programming. Worcester supports as well a lively contemporary music scene with a host of venues for live music.
