Assistantships

Enrolled graduate students may be awarded an assistantship for both the first and second year of study. A graduate assistant will be assigned to work with a faculty member to assist in teaching a course or in conducting research. Typical assistantships require five to ten hours of work per week, and result in a taxable stipend that is generally equal to the pay of a part-time job. Assistantships are awarded on a yearly basis, and therefore must be renewed annually.

Decisions regarding the awarding of assistantships are made by the program coordinator. The assistantships are awarded based upon the following criteria:

  • Strong academic record
  • Skills and strengths of the applicant
  • Availability for service.

When awarded an assistantship, the student will be notified in writing regarding the dollar amount of the assistantship, the semesters of expected service, the number of hours to be worked, and the faculty supervisor.
