» Positions Likely To Be Available Each Year

Hours and Duration »
Graduate Assistants are typically hired for 0.4 full-time equivalent appointments, meaning that their assignments would involve 16-20 hours per week. This allows the students to still be enrolled in a number of courses in their own program. The assistantships are commonly for the entire academic year (late August to mid-May).
Salary »
A 0.4 time graduate assistant would have a salary of approximately $983 each month for nine months. In addition, students holding 0.4 appointments as graduate teaching assistants have their tuition waived.
Enrollment »
To be eligible as a graduate assistant, the student must be pursing graduate studies full-time, with a minimum of six hours of graduate credit in a semester.
