About EDP Graduate Assistantships
The Department of Educational Psychology at Baylor University annually awards competitive
graduate assistantships to highly qualified individuals interested in becoming a contributing
member of our exemplary programs. Responsibilities of graduate assistants generally include,
but are not limited to, (a) serving as research assistants within the department and extension
sites; (b) teaching or co-teaching various courses in the Department based on academic
background and professional experience; (c) providing professional services to public and
private community and state based agencies; and (d) providing administrative support and
expertise in a variety of departmental functions. Most master's and educational specialist GAs
are assigned under categories c and d. Category a and b assignments are more common for PhD
students.
Graduate assistantships are generally awarded on a year-by-year basis, with renewal for
subsequent years subject to funding availability and favorable review after the first year of
service to the Department and Baylor University. The appointment is set at 15 hours per week.
Tuition remission and stipend vary with appointment. Generally, the stipends for master's and
EdS students are around $6,600 with 18-24 hours of tuition remitted each year and the stipends
for PhD students are around $17,500 with 18-24 hours of tuition remitted each year, with some
variation. In most instances, students are expected to pay their own registration fees outside of
tuition. Visit http://www.baylor.edu/sfs/index.php?id=69384 for details. There may be additional
