The Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at 桃花社区视频 Dominion University supports several teaching and research assistantship positions. In return for the financial support, graduate students work 20 hours per week for faculty members or in teaching depending on the assistantship awarded.

Assistantships are available to a few select graduate students who have shown dedication in their undergraduate studies. Teaching and research assistantships are valuable in the sense that they foster strong relationships with faculty and provide the student with the opportunity to get a real feel for academic life.
