The department appoints graduate students as assistants to faculty members in the instruction of courses in psychology. The work includes preparing demonstrations, preparing and grading examinations, leading discussion groups, supervising student research, and lecturing under the close supervision of a faculty member. The department provides research assistantships for students during the summer months between the first and second year. Financial support is determined at the time of admission. It is not possible to increase the support during the year.
Some funds are available for graduate student research.
Students requiring funds may make requests to the department through their faculty advisor. Other test scores may be submitted but are not required. The deadline for receipt of applications and supporting materials is February 1 . Admission decisions are made in late February. There are no spring semester admissions.
