Graduate Assistantships Opportunities

Our School offers graduate assistantships to approximately 8 to 12 new students each year. Our assistantships provide a full tuition waiver and a stipend of approximately $16,100 per academic year. 

Our assistantships are flexible in the duties and work required. Our philosophy is that the graduate assistantships should prepare graduate students to assume the role of a junior, tenure-track faculty member. 像这样, we offer a variety of opportunities for you to grow as a teacher, 学者, and young professional in the discipline. Each assistant is responsible for two units of work each semester—a “unit” could be teaching a class and/or one of the other opportunities described below.

  • Teaching Experiences: 的 majority of our graduate assistants teach two courses per term. To help you grow as a teacher we provide a variety of teaching experiences. Stand-alone courses include Public Speaking,Cultural Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Small Group Communication, 和说服. Examples of team teaching opportunities (with a faculty member) include courses like Communication Between Cultures and Research Methods. All graduate students are eligible for summer teaching, 当可用的, which can serve as additional financial support.
  • Administration Experiences: Interested graduate students are reassigned from one unit of teaching to perform administrative tasks like assisting the basic course coordinator, assisting one of our journal editors, or assisting the Associate Director for Graduate Studies with recruitment and managing the graduate program. 的se experiences are valuable for those who are considering entering into administration. Taking on an administrative role means students will teach one class and participate in an administrative capacity to complete their graduate requirements.
  • Research Experiences: Students who wish to engage in formal or informal team research experiences on various topics through their assistantships are reassigned from one unit of teaching to work in the capacity of a research assistant with a faculty member. Such experiences often result in collaborative projects that culminate in publications.

Assistantships are available on a merit basis and are awarded competitively by the Graduate Committee. Only students who are admitted unconditionally are eligible for a graduate assistantship. Students in our program are normally granted aid for 8 semesters or four years assuming adequate progress toward the degree. Depending on unique situations, limited amounts of adjunct funding may be available for students who seek additional funding beyond 8 semesters. For additional information please see the section on “applying to the program.”

Special 资金 Opportunities

旅游的支持

的 School and the 斯克里普斯学院 of Communication offer significant opportunities for travel funding to conferences where students present “competitive” papers. 的 School and College work to maintain a budget sufficient for graduate students who present competitive papers at conferences.
