Building

The Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education offers assistantships for all full-time Ph.D. students and assigns placements based on students' interests and experience. These 16-20 hour-per-week assistantships offer competitive stipends, full tuition benefits (including summer terms), travel support, and additional benefits. The graduate coordinator, Dr. Erik Ness, will work with admitted students to identify assistantship opportunities that best fit students' interests and experiences.
