Graduate Assistantships

The Black School of Business has graduate assistantships available each year on a competitive basis for outstanding full-time graduate students. Each graduate assistantship is considered a half-time assistantship, which specifies twenty hours of work responsibility per week. The assistantships are for two semesters (fall and spring). Students must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average and must be registered for no fewer than 9 credits and no more than 12 credits per semester. Students receive a monthly stipend plus a grant-in-aid for tuition.
