Graduate assistant applicants should be in the top quartile of their undergraduate class. If they have a master's degree, performance should indicate strong potential for successful doctoral study.
Selection also depends upon the experience needed for a particular assignment.
Preference for teaching assistantships is given to applicants with successful teaching experience. The teaching may have been formal or nonformal and in any of a variety of settings such as secondary schools, vocational schools, business, extension and community service agencies. Persons wishing to be considered for a graduate assistantship must submit a departmental graduate assistantship application form in Word or in Adobe Acrobat along with the graduate school application and by March 1 for priority consideration. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader you will need to download it. All rights reserved.
