Teaching Assistantships
The School of Psychological Sciences has a limited number of teaching assistantships that are sometimes assigned to advanced doctoral students in school psychology. These regularly budgeted positions are for nine months, carrying a teaching responsibility of three to six credits each semester. A limited number of summer assignments are available. Additional positions are occasionally available on a one-semester basis.
Research Assistantships
The programs in School Psychology are typically able to offer a full- or part-time graduate assistantship to each incoming doctoral student, as well as to a limited number of incoming Ed.S. students. Students assist faculty with research and receive a waiver of tuition (based on full or part time position), and a stipend. Additional assistantships are often available through contract and grant projects in other units of the University.
