department has an Admissions Committee that considers all applicants for fully
funded Teaching Assistantships. The department also has a large number of
Research Assistantships and Internships but these are typically reserved for
experienced graduate students who have completed at least one year in our
program. All of the Teaching Assistantships, Research Assistantships, and
Internships include university-paid medical insurance.

you are not interested in receiving financial support when you apply, please
