Financial Support

The Department of Gender and Race Studies offers a limited number of graduate assistantships, which are awarded on a competitive basis. Assistantships include a tuition scholarship for fall and spring sessions, doubling the value of the award.

If you plan to apply for an assistantship or financial aid, your application should be filed by February 15.

Certificate Program

To be considered for the certificate program, students must submit a letter of intent and a proposed plan of study to Dr. Utz McKnight, Director of Graduate Studies. The letter of intent and plan of study will be reviewed by a core faculty member and approved by the Chair and the Director of Graduate Studies.

If the proposed Plan of Study requires revision, the prospective student will consult with the Director of Graduate Studies to receive feedback, then re-submit the revised document for approval.
