Graduate
Assistantship
Graduate
Assistantships are provided by the university as part of the Master
of Public Administration (MPA) program to provide 1) administrative
support for the MPA Director, and 2) assist MPA faculty in the
conduct of their research. Graduate Assistants may be asked
to assist in the conduct of undergraduate courses; however, such
responsibilities are limited. Ultimately, the assistantship
experience should further the student’s learning.
Assistantship
work should not take precedence over the successful completion
of the graduate degree program by the student in a timely manner.
Specifically, Graduate Assistants are provided part-time employment
on a wage-per-hour basis and reduced tuition, and practical experience
in fields related to his/her advanced study. However, the assistantship
together with class attendance and study is a full-time undertaking,
and the assistant must make sure that he/she can fulfill all responsibilities
to the program without interference from outside employment.
