What are graduate assistantships? Graduate assistantships are part-time jobs in campus departments that provide financial support and valuable experience to graduate students. Assistantships are exciting opportunities for graduate students to support faculty/staff in the areas of research, special projects, and with administrative duties.
How do assistantships work? Graduate assistantships provide a tuition waiver in exchange for work in a college office. It is applied to graduate study during the term in which the work of the assistantship is being done.
Who is eligible? Assistantships are awarded each semester to both full and part-time graduate students. In order to apply, a student must already be accepted into a graduate program. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job description, students are eligible for all assistantships, regardless if the assistantship is sponsored through their particular graduate program's School/College.
Where are assistantship opportunities found? Assistantships can be found in many areas across all Schools and Colleges on campus. Departments such as art, biology, education, the First Year Center, Admissions, Center for Service Learning, and many more sponsor graduate assistantships.
Can I apply to more than one assistantship at a time? Yes, you may! To do so, submit a cover letter and resume specific to each position you would like to pursue. Please be advised: Only one assistantship per graduate student is allowed each semester.
