Graduate assistantships
There are two types of graduate assistantships: (1) teaching and (2) research. Graduate assistantships carry a full tuition waiver and pay a stipend depending on whether you are a full-time (20 hours a week) or a part-time (10 or 15 hours a week) assistant. If you are interested in either type of assistantship, there is a form that you should complete and give to me. This form is included in the MAS packet that you can pick up in 345 Barsema.
