Are there assistantships available?
In previous years, students accepted into our program have been awarded a paid assistantship (requiring 20 hours of work a week), and sometimes a fellowship and summer research award. The assistantship has historically included a 100% tuition waiver during the academic year and qualifies the student for enrollment in the Graduate Assistant Health Insurance Plan, with our department paying the full health care premium. Typically, students are expected to be a teaching assistant for one of their assistantship years and research assistants in other years. Offers, however, do vary depending on budgetary issues.
