For graduate students, ALEC provides graduate assistantships to students enrolled in the department. Departmental assistantships are awarded each year on a competitive basis according to students’ background, experience, academic record, test scores, recommendations, other pertinent criteria, and the needs of the department and individual faculty. Recipients of these assistantships must be fully admitted to the Graduate School in a degree seeking status. Students must continue to be a full-time student taking at least nine hours of credit per semester. Contact the department for further information or applying.
