Teaching Assistantships are available for both new and returning MA and PhD students. These positions are awarded in the spring for the following academic year.

The Teaching Assistantship includes participation in the Tuition Benefit Program which provides tuition remission, health insurance, and a stipend. Requirements for students participating in the Tuition Benefit Program can be found here.

Students applying to begin their graduate studies in our department will be automatically considered for funding through the Teaching Assistantship. When admissions decisions are sent out, students will also be notified about any Teaching Assistantship they are being offered.

Current students in the WLC programs who are not funded but wish to be considered should speak with the Graduate Student Coordinator before the application deadline (January 15) about how to apply to receive funding for the following academic year.

*Teaching Assistantship positions are only available to students admitted into one of the Department of World Languages & Cultures graduate programs. The Department is unable to provide funding to students outside the Department.
