Assistantships

Assistantships are usually provided to the graduate level students. There are three types of Assistantships:
Teaching Assistantship (TA),
Research Assistantship (RA),
and Graduate Assistantship (GA).
Usually, the RAs help professors with their research project. The TAs helps professor in teaching or grading. The GAs helps with some work at the department. The assistantship could be quarter time or half time. Students who get half time assistantship have to work for twenty hours a week for which they get paid, and on top of that they get free health insurance and their tuition and fees is waived (they only have to pay for the in-state tuition and fees). Students having quarter time assistantships have to work for ten hours a week and they get paid for those ten hours of work. Quarter time assistants don’t get any waiver on their tuition and fees.
