Teaching and Research Assistantships
Human Development graduate students are usually funded through teaching and research assistantships. We usually are in a position to fund all new students with a TA or RA. These include a monthly stipend, along with a tuition waiver. Students usually are funded for two years as long as they are in good-standing in the program. Applicants should apply for this financial assistance as part of the online application process. Each award requires 20 hours service per week to the department. Most awards of financial assistance, whether scholarships, fellowships or graduate assistantships are made for the following academic year. Generally, graduate students are on appointment and expected to be available in the department from August 16th to May 15th. The appointment period for teaching assistants is nine months (the academic year). The maximum number of academic years a teaching assistantship may be awarded is two over the tenure of any graduate student.
The appointment period for research assistants funded through outside grants or contracts is determined by the faculty member to whom the grant or contract has been awarded.
International Applicants: In addition to the major criteria indicated, teaching assistants with classroom duties must be competent to teach in English. It is unlikely that financial support in the form of a teaching assistantship will be offered to an international applicant unless there is clear evidence of an ability to conduct classes in English. A satisfactory score on the TOEFL is not sufficient for this certification and the applicant must pass an evaluation conducted by the Graduate School.
