Graduate Assistantships

Graduate students have the ability to practice professional skills by serving as graduate assistants in a student affairs area or partner area. Based on the individual department, students may engage in program development and planning, student advising, administrative support, student mentoring, supervising, and more. Becoming a graduate assistant enables you to apply the theory you learn in your graduate program to practice.
