Financial Aid for Psychology Graduate Students

The Psychology Department provides financial aid to almost all its graduate students. Aid may come in the form of a scholarship that pays one鈥檚 tuition or a stipend to help offset living expenses. Most students receive both. Students who are awarded a stipend are assigned the responsibilities of Graduate Associate (GA), Teaching Associate (TA) or Research Associate (RA).

All Ph.D. students are supported on stipends and/or tuition waivers up through their fifth year. Approximately 25% serve as research assistants (RAs), 35% as teaching assistants (TAs), and 40% as instructors of record (no sooner than year three and after trained to teach).

Careers with a Psychology Graduate Degree

Psychologists may work in a variety of roles. For example, psychologists conduct both basic and applied research, serve as consultants, diagnose and treat people, teach future psychologists, test intelligence and personality, and work as health care providers.

Recent graduates of the Clinical Psychology program work in careers that include varying degrees of research and practice. Employment settings include medical centers, colleges and universities, independent practice, state and county hospitals, medical schools, school districts, university counseling centers, correctional facilities, and business and industry. Graduates are prepared, with additional postdoctoral experience, for the psychology licensing requirements of all states in the United States.

The great majority of Experimental Psychology graduates take positions in academic settings, ranging from universities to two-year colleges, public and private research settings, and consulting service providers.
