Assistantships
Many students in the experimental concentration receive graduate assistantships or teaching assistantships. Assistantships provide full or partial tuition remission, plus a stipend.
There are three ways to apply for assistantships:
- The experimental program director can usually make two 10-hour per week assistantship offers to incoming students. All admitted students will be considered for these positions; there is no separate application. The program director usually makes these offers in March.
- The psychology department usually has about ten 10-hour per week teaching assistantships for psychology graduate students. The experimental program director will email the call for applications to all current and admitted students; this usually happens in late April.
- There are many graduate assistantships in other departments and offices on campus. Admitted students can apply for these positions on Handshake, which is described on the website listed below.
