Can non-U.S. students get teaching assistantships?
A. All M.S. and Ph.D. students admitted to our program are considered for research and teaching assistantships. Many of these assistantships require very high levels of skill in written and spoken English – particularly -in public speaking and writing classes. Because of this, while we do provide some international students with assistantships, there are fewer assistantship opportunities for international students, especially those -from non-English-speaking countries. We urge all international students to aggressively seek other sources of funding. A good place to start looking is the Graduate School Fellowship page.
