The School of Management awards approximately 18 assistantships to masters students each year. Assistantships entail recipients working with faculty for 10 hours per week either as a teaching or research assistant in return for a half tution scholarship and an average stipend of $4,122 per academic year. Recipients also receive health insurance benefits.

Graduate assistants (GAs) complete research and/or provide administrative aid within their graduate discipline. Teaching assistants (TAs) provide some type of classroom support, either by teaching, leading discussion sections, grading, or preparing classroom materials. The School of Management awards assistantships based on a combination of GMAT, TOEFL and educational and professional experience. Graduate/Teaching assistants are expected to work approximately 10 hours per week throughout the semester.

New applicants may apply for a graduate/teaching assistantship by checking the appropriate box on the graduate application form. Current students wishing to be considered for available assistantships should submit a resume and cover letter to the associate dean.

Continuation of funding is dependent upon the student's meeting the conditions set in the original terms and conditions of appointment.
