Additional assistantships are often available through special projects and in other departments of the university. Assistantships are available also through the Division of Developmental Studies, the Department of Criminal Justice, the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Early Childhood Education.
Tuition is waived for students holding assistantships.
The amount and number of assistantships available varies with funding sources. Two half-time Instructor positions are funded for doctoral students in the Department. Many students supplement their incomes with part-time professional positions in metropolitan area mental health facilities. These positions most often complement their professional training in Counseling Psychology. The Counseling Psychology program is housed within the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services on the 9th floor of the College of Education building.
