Graduate Assistantships
Inquire in your academic department about the
availability of graduate assistantships. In general,
graduate assistants work from five to twenty hours a
week, assisting professors in laboratory classes or
as graders in large classes. Graduate Assistantships
are not available in all departments and are most often
available to advanced graduate students. In some instances,
advanced graduate students are hired as Teaching Associates
and may actually serve as instructors in some lower
division lecture or laboratory classes. Approximate
pay for a Graduate Assistant is $650 per quarter for
each five-hours of work per week up to a maximum total
of 20 hours per week. Teaching Associates earn approximately
$550 per unit of instruction per quarter. In some departments
research assistantships, as well as graduate traineeships,
may also be available to graduate students and information
of their availability can be obtained by consulting
the specific department.
