How do I obtain a graduate assistantship?

We have a graduate assistantship placement process, known as GA Days, that takes place once per year. If you are admitted to the program, we will contact you about participating in GA Days. During GA Days, you will have the opportunity to interview with our assistantship employers. (International applicants may participate in interviews with graduate assistantship employers virtually.) Note that participation in GA Days is not a guarantee you will be placed in an assistantship; placements are competitive, and not all admitted students receive a placement. If you wish to be considered for a graduate assistantship, you must submit your application by December 1 each year for admission the following fall semester, to ensure we have sufficient time to review your application prior to GA Days.
