MS in HSRP&A Internship

The MS program in HSRP&A has partnered with many local health research organizations that provide paid internship opportunities for MS students. The MS Internship provides experiential learning and practical application of newly acquired skills. Internships include an hourly wage and partial coverage of tuition and health insurance. The number of paid internships depends on the number of sponsoring organizations.

SPH Scholarships

Graduate Assistantships

A graduate assistantship is an on-campus, part time job that includes attractive benefits. Assistantships are very competitive to obtain as the demand out numbers the available positions.

Benefits:

Tuition benefits: Graduate assistants receive both wages and a tuition subsidy based on the number of hours worked per week and their rate of tuition. Non-Minnesota residents also receive a waiver that covers the non-resident portion of tuition.

• Health insurance coverage of at least 50%.
• Invaluable working experience and opportunity to work closely with faculty.

The Division of HPM has some Research Assistant (RA) positions available and a few Teaching Assistant (TA) positions. Students may also look for graduate assistantship jobs outside of the department through the University's Office of Human Resources Graduate Assistant Employment page.

RA and TA positions within the School of Public Health are also available in the Career Services Center.
