Departmental teaching assistants serve as instructors for the introductory level health course, or, if a qualified doctoral student, lower division courses for HPB majors.
Research assistants work with faculty on various ongoing research projects.
Health Promotion and Behavior graduate students may also qualify for general university assistantships. These assistantships are awarded on a university-wide basis to highly qualified students. Talk with the Graduate Coordinator if interested. The dollar amount of each of the categories of assistantships varies according to the number of hours of service required per week, the source of the funding, and whether the appointment is for 9 or 12 months. Stipend supplements are available to outstanding students at both the masters and doctoral levels.
