Students are free to apply for Assistantships outside the Art History Department. The number of teaching assistantships available in any semester depends upon both the department's curricular needs and the funding allocated by the College of Letters and Science. The positions also carry various fringe benefits such as health insurance and tuition remission. The Committee also tries to arrange its nominations for University awards so that students will not hold teaching assistantships and University awards concurrently. Deadline - January 15.
Students apply for teaching assistantships within their own field of study.
Applicants are ranked according to formulae that consider both their GPAs and demonstrated abilities to take on the challenges and responsibilities of classroom teaching. For all students, those with guarantees included, reappointment as a T.A. depends upon both maintaining satisfactory progress within the graduate program and receiving satisfactory teaching evaluations. Project Assistants help an individual professor with research or work for a departmental unit such as the slide room. Duties and requirements vary according to the particular position. Benefits such as health insurance and tuition remission are also included.
