About the LANL Graduate Student Program
Graduate Salary Structure
The rates below are effective October 1, 2007. Salaries are evaluated from student's current transcripts using the following criteria:
- Salaries for graduate students are based on completion of 12 credit hours annually for the first two years of a Master's or PhD graduate program (BS+1, BS+2). Salaries are then based on satisfactory progress (minimum of one credit hour) towards degree after the second year of a Master's degree (MS+0 or degree awarded) or PhD program BS+3, BS+4, BS+5.
- For example, students who have been accepted to graduate school for the upcoming semester are moved to the BS+0 salary. In order to move to the next level (BS+1), 12 credit hours must be completed. The same is true to move to the BS+2. The BS+3/MS+0 salary is awarded to MS students who have completed the MS degree or PhD students who have completed three years towards degree.
