Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are stipends paid from a regular university account or from a grant/contract held by a faculty member or organizational unit on campus. Normally, the Graduate School does not award assistantships; rather these are paid by an individual department, faculty member, or organizational unit on campus. However, the Dean of the Graduate School must approve all requests for new graduate assistant positions.
The Lemke Department of Journalism offers a limited number of graduate assistantships and these normally involve responsibilities to assist with teaching and/or with labs, working under the supervision of faculty members to whom they are assigned. Graduate assistantships are awarded to students with a strong academic record and qualifications to assist faculty in appropriate areas. Deadline for departmental GA applications is April 1. Interested students should consult with the Journalism graduate coordinator and/or departmental chair. Dowload the graduate assistantship application and other related forms here.
