Teaching Assistantships

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

The majority of our graduate students are supported through part-time Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA). The beginning stipend currently starts at $16,000 and is up to $21,000. Additional funds are available in the summer for most. All supported students receive in-state tuition, and most fees are waived. All GTA positions are considered for departmental scholarships. Generally, GTA's are required to teach one or two undergraduate courses once they have accrued 18 graduate credit hours. If graduate students do not have classroom teaching responsibilities, they are given grading or tutoring duties. All M.A. and Ph.D. applicants are considered for GTA positions.
