Graduate Assistantships provide a limited stipend for service to an academic or administrative department. Typically, an assistant’s responsibility may include carrying out research for a professor or administrator, editing, assisting in instruction or administrative duties, producing written reports or documents, or carrying out other appropriate duties as assigned by a professor or administrator; however, it differs per graduate program. Normally, a graduate assistantship will consist on the average of fifteen to twenty hours of work per week. Tuition reimbursement is normally provided to the recipient for up to 9 credits of course work each semester. Not all graduate programs offer a graduate assistantship.
An applicant for a graduate assistantship must meet all admission requirements for the graduate program that one plans to pursue. Additionally, assistants should present exemplary personal and professional records. For some assistantships, evidence of special skills may be required. To apply for a graduate assistantship, persons must be an accepted Saint Michael's graduate student.
