The University of Tennessee-Knoxville

“We strive to provide graduate assistantships for 4-5 years to all PhD students unless the student is employed full-time at the University of Tennessee.”

“Typically, applicants to the doctoral program have earned a Master’s degree or are working on their Master’s degree when they apply to the doctoral program.”

“However, applicants with undergraduate degrees may also be considered for direct admission to the PhD program if they have significant undergraduate research experience relevant to human development and family science, focused research interests, and a strong academic record.”
