Teaching and Research Assistantships

The Department offers teaching assistantships (dependent on student demand) and research assistantships (dependent on faculty member research funding) to all qualified graduate students. Graduate students who hold a ¼-time graduate appointment or greater receive a tuition scholarship that covers 100% of tuition. Graduate students in HHP are typically awarded ½-time appointments which require 20 hours of classroom and/or laboratory instruction per week.  The average annual stipend for teaching assistants is $19,236. Masters students receive a maximum of two years of funding while PhD students receive a maximum of four years of funding.  New incoming graduate students are typically awarded a TA appointment. More advanced PhD students may also be awarded an RA appointment.
