This statement should describe why you are pursuing a graduate degree, your areas of interest and your academic and research strengths. These documents will be used to evaluate your application for admission and your application for a graduate assistantship.
Teaching and research assistantships are available in our department to support qualified graduate students. The assistantships, spread over a ten-month period, have a value of $18,074 and carry an automatic waiver of non-resident tuition. Please be sure to include your completed assistantship application form in your documentation.
