Student Opportunities
Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are available on a limited basis to full-time MBA students. Graduate assistants receive a stipend plus exemption from tuition up to a maximum of 12 credits per semester (special course fees may apply). Graduate assistantships carry a service obligation to the Richard T. Doermer School of Business and Management Sciences that may include assisting faculty in research projects, teaching assignments, or performing other designated activities. Half-time assistantships require 20 hours per week, and quarter-time assistantships carry a 10-hour-per-week time commitment.
Assistantships may be renewed contingent on satisfactory performance evaluations every semester. Graduate assistants are expected to make normal progress toward their degrees, maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.0 or better, and remain full-time students.
Applicants for graduate assistantships should attach a letter to their application (PDF) for admission that describes their skills, work experience, and/or special abilities that may be useful to a faculty member or to the school. The deadlines for graduate assistantship applications are August 1 and December 1 for assistantships beginning with the fall and spring semesters, respectively. Assistantships are not available during summer sessions.
