Financial Aid
While the program is designed to fit into the lifestyles of working
professionals, you may also choose to pursue your graduate
degree full-time. To assist you, the department offers graduate
assistantships with monthly stipends and tuition waivers.
Assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis using
undergraduate GPA, scholarship records, recommendations and/or
professional experiences.
Assistantships
The IDT department has several graduate assistantships available each year. Students wishing to apply for these positions must file an application and submit three letters of recommendation to the department chair. Preference is given to students enrolled in the IDT graduate program. Selection is usually made late spring for the following academic year. However, occasionally openings occur at other times.
