Recipients of assistantships are expected to work for the College for approximately 20 hours per week. Duties will be assigned on the basis of the needs of the departments and the qualifications of the graduate student.
Financial Assistance
Stipends for graduate assistantships start at approximately $6,000 - $6,500 per 9 month academic year for master's students and approximately $13,000 - $18,900 per 9 month academic year for doctoral students, with a limited number of tuition waiver Fellowsips available each fall semester to incoming students new to the PhD program.
