There's Still Time to Apply for Spring Admission.

Submit your application by January 1 for undergraduate programs! 

Graduate Assistantships

À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ offers a limited number of graduate assistantships to graduate students each year.  The assistantships are highly competitive and are awarded to students with superior academic records who are matriculated in a graduate degree program.  Students selected for these positions must be registered minimally for six (6) credits per semester. Our goal is to establish a mutually-beneficial system that links students with mentors who support their educational and professional goals. 

Both full-time and part-time assistantships are available.  For most GA positions, full-time graduate assistants are expected to work 15 hours per week, and part-time graduate assistants must work 7 ½ hours per week.  Benefits include full or partial tuition plus a stipend.  Students are responsible for registration, educational service, practicum, and other fees as appropriate.  Most assistantships are granted for the full academic year (fall and spring semesters).

Applications for the 2024-25 academic year is now accepting applications.
