Graduate Assistantship Program

More information about assistantships can be found at:  http://www.jmu.edu/cgop/assistantships.shtml

Assistantships provide an opportunity to work alongside professors in a professional setting.  Most employers prefer students who are available for at least one year.  However, some positions may be available only for Spring or Fall semester.

Graduate assistantships in a department (20 hours/wk) offer a tuition waiver equivalent to three classes per semester and a living stipend that is paid on a bi-weekly basis.  Contract dates vary by department and details (stipends, tuition waivers, time requirements, etc.) will be discussed when an offer has been extended.

♦     To be eligible students must be unconditionally or conditionally accepted into a graduate program,

♦     Positions are limited so early application is encouraged—(Jan-Feb. for following Fall)

♦     Positions may be offered as soon as a student has been accepted to graduate school.  Positions remain open until filled.

To apply for a Graduate Assistantship within the department:

Applications are available in the EFEX Department, Memorial Hall, Room 3126.  Complete the application form and return it with a  resume attached to the EXED Department.  Assistantships are not available during student teaching.
