Many departments offering master s degrees have funds for graduate assistantships. The amount of the award may vary, but includes the waiver of tuition and some fees. Graduate assistants perform duties required and carry a lighter course load than do full time students. Information about graduate assistantships may be secured by contacting the department chairman or the Graduate College Dean s office. Title IV School Code is 003815.
Graduate students are responsible for finding their own housing.
Housing for families, single graduate and married students is provided in 78 furnished apartment-style dwellings owned and operated by the University and located approximately four miles from the Huntington campus. The Graduate College awards the Master of Arts, the Master of Science, the Master of Arts in Teaching, the Master of Arts in Journalism, the Master of Business Administration, the Master of Science in Engineering, the Master of Science in Nursing, the Educational Specialist, and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees in the programs shown below. A number of the degree majors have multiple areas of emphasis that are explained in the Graduate Catalog sections that deal with those majors. Because of high demand for graduate study in certain majors, it is not possible to admit every qualified applicant to those programs. Some programs admit students only on designated dates during the year.
