Graduate Assistantships are used to support full-time doctoral students as research or teaching assistants. The money made available through this source will be distributed to students on a competitive basis in the form of stipends.In exchange for working with a faculty member on a research or teaching related project 12-15 hours per week, graduate assistants receive a stipend of $12,000 to $14,000, tuition remission, and graduate student health insurance. Income from a scholarship or fellowship may be considered taxable income. top
Research Assistantships are designed to provide student with opportunities to engage in research-related learning activities while providing them with an additional source of income to help offset some of the expenses associated with doctoral education. Accordingly, efforts will be made to maximize the goodness-of-fit between student and faculty research interests. It is our hope that collaboration between students and faculty around research projects of mutual interest will not only help to facilitate the school’s research agenda, but also create unique opportunities for joint research publications.
To apply for an assistant, a faculty member will be expected to submit a written proposal outlining the nature of the research project(s) and the role the student would be expected to play on any given project. Preference will be given to projects that are directly related to the school’s overall research agenda and that provide students with research internship opportunities. The ultimate assignment of graduate assistants will be the responsibility of the Dean in consultation with the Director of the Ph.D. Program. top
