The School of Communication funds every student we admit to our M.A. and Ph.D. programs with either a Graduate Associateship (a teaching assistant or research assistant) or some form of Graduate School Fellowship (University Fellowship or Enrichment Fellowship).
Our Graduate Associate funding packages are very competitive.
- M.A. students are funded for two years ($2,364/month stipend plus tuition waiver for a nine month assistantship)
- Ph.D. students for four to five years depending on prior academic experience ($2,364/month stipend plus tuition waiver for a nine month assistantship)
In return for the Graduate Associate package, students are expected to work an average of 20 hours per week as a teaching or research assistant. The tuition waiver covers both Ohio resident as well as non-resident tuition.
