Funding Opportunites
The department has funds to support selected graduate students.
Criminology Graduate Assistantships provide $9,000 and $12,000 annual stipends for
Master's students and Doctoral students respectively. These assistantships include
tuition waivers. Students receiving these assistantships work 20 hours per week;
the weekly work hours provide students with practical experience in teaching and/or
research. These are awarded on a competitive basis; all applicants are considered
for these assistantships.
Several University fellowship programs are available to students; the stipends for
these awards range from $12,000 to $22,000 per year.
