A Graduate Assistantship is an opportunity available to qualifying graduate students
for on-campus employment. Graduate Assistants (or GAs, as they are often called) can
either work in teaching, research, or administrative roles depending upon the position.
Graduate assistants receive tuition assistance and a monthly stipend for 9 months
for the academic year. Graduate Assistantships do not cover fees. Stipend amounts
vary by programs, with doctoral student stipends typically higher than those for master’s
students. For more detailed information about the types of Graduate Assistantships,
refer to the GA/TS Handbook (page 5)
