Assistantships

A limited number of graduate assistantships are available on a competative basis. These require half-time work (approximately 15-20 hours per week) assisting a faculty member. In 2007-2008 assistantships paid $10,230 plus remission of tuition costs. In addition, there is an opportunity to receive at least $1800 for summer study after one has been a graduate assistant during the regular academic year; this $1,800 scholarship involves no work duties, but students who wish to receive it must register for 12 credit hours (also with tuition remission) during the summer.
