GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP

Admitted students to the ABA doctoral program are automatically awarded a competitive graduate assistantship. No additional application is required. Assistantships include four years of tuition coverage, health insurance, and a monthly stipend. The monthly stipend equates to around $27,000 in the first year, $30,000 in the second year, and $35,000 in years three and four (if required). The assistantship is a 12-month appointment requiring 20 hours of work per week. Students are required to teach classes, assist faculty with research, and other duties as assigned. Graduate assistants receive a health insurance subsidy.
