In addition to the graduate assistantships provided to the
department by the University, students currently employed by local,
municipal, state, or federal agencies on the management level, are
encouraged to apply for the Special Graduate Scholarship Program.
To be eligible, applicants must be accepted to the M.A. program in

The Alumni Council
In order to maintain a continuing relationship with the
department, B.A., M.A. graduates and certificate recipients have
created an organization geared to servicing students and alumni.
The Council, operating under an Executive Committee, is divided
into four groups reflecting the career choice of the department's
graduates: education, legal studies, public service and the private
sector. The Council provides student and alumni services, including
career guidance, internship opportunities, networking and job
placement.
