| The Department of Physical Education
offers graduate assistantships to support full time gradate
study of doctoral students. Students receive a stipend and
tuition waiver for performing duties for the department. These
responsibilities
may include some or all of the following: assisting faculty
in undergraduate classes, assisting with research, teaching
physical
activity classes, supervising students in practicums, and other
departmental duties as assigned.

Usually the decision process regarding assistantships is begun
in March and continues until all available assistantships
are awarded.
Assistantships can only be awarded to students who are fully
admitted to the doctoral program. Thus, to be considered
for
an assistantship, students must submit a formal application
to the doctoral program though the University of South
Carolina
Graduate School.
All entering doctoral students who are awarded an assistantship
must attend a workshop sponsored by the University of South
Carolina Graduate School during the week prior to the beginning
of classes in the fall semester. Usually, this workshop
is
held near the middle of August.
There are other university offices (Department of Athletics,
Campus Recreation) that offer graduate assistantships to students
who are interested in a graduate degree in physical education
or other areas. Students should contact these departments
directly about the procedures for applying for graduate assistantships.
