Summer Assistantships Ph. The Department Chair reserves the right to grant special assignment time during the summer to Ph.D. students in order to give them time to conduct research and field work.
Every effort is made to provide support for master's-level GAs who desire support during the summer.
However, the summer budget for the Department is separate from that for the academic year and the Department is not, therefore, in a position to guarantee summer employment. When summer assistantship money is available, first priority in hiring master's-level GAs is given to persons whose skills match Department programmatic and research needs.
