Are there assistantships available in psychology?
A large percentage of our students receive assistantships. These include teaching assistants for general psychology laboratory, research assistants for faculty grants, graduate assistantships in psychology and other campus units such as the Learning Assistance Center and Disabled Student Services. These range in pay up to $9,000 per academic year. Students interested in working as an assistant should file a “Psychology Graduate Student Assistantship Application” after acceptance into the program. Other information on loans, grants, and employment opportunities is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid, UNCC (704) 687-2461.
