The Hugh A. Glauser School of Music offers graduate assistantships in applied music performance, conducting, ethnomusicology, music education, string quartet and theory.  Students interested in a graduate assistantship must indicate this on their graduate studies application for admission to Kent state university.

All graduate assistantships carry a stipend and tuition waiver for 8 credits per semester for Master's students and 9 credits for Ph.D. students. 

Graduate assistantship duties are assigned as appropriate for the student’s area of study and entail approximately 10 hours (half-time) or 20 hours (full-time) per week.

To be considered for a performance or conducting assistantship, the candidate must audition on-campus (preferred), or by including recordings (video) or URLs in the "Portfolio" section of the Graduate Studies Application.
