Herff Graduate Assistantships

Graduate assistantships are usually awarded to Ph.D. students whose research interests align closely with faculty projects, particularly those supported by external funding.

If you have additional questions about funding opportunities, such as graduate or research assistantships, please reach out directly to the department. Graduate coordinators are the best initial point of contact and can help identify faculty whose research aligns with yours.
