The Center for the Study of Family Violence and Sexual Assault offers a variety of training experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.

Undergraduate

Please see the Department of Psychology for current opportunities.

Graduate

Depending on interest and availability, graduate students have the opportunity to volunteer as members of multidisciplinary research teams. In addition, there are often funded assistantship positions based on grant projects at the CSFVSA. Currently, the CSFVA supports several graduate fellowship positions. The fellowship is targeted toward graduate students interested in developing research skills germane to the study of family violence, sexual assault, trauma and related topics.
