CTMBA students

Graduate Asstantships

Graduate Assistanships or (“GAships” or “GAs”) provide a wonderful employment opportunity to degree-seeking graduates. GAships allow qualified, admitted CTMBA students to work within various departments within the College of Business and Economics (COBE). In exchange, they receive an hourly wage and tuition assistance.

GAships waive all tuition and fees. Most GAships require 20 hours of work per week throughout the fall and spring semesters for a yearly stipend of approximately $11,000. Contracts are not automatically renewed year-after-year, but students may re-apply for a GAship in their second year of the program.

GA’s will work in one or more areas of COBE including:

  • Academic research and support for faculty
  • Tutor undergraduate students
  • Teach undergraduate classes
  • Support for event coordination and/or marketing of COBE through the Graduate Business Studies Office
  • Support the efforts of one of our centers for business help

How to apply and deadline for submission:

Here’s a quick overview:

  • Februrary 15 – COBE offers a limited number of GAships for students. You must be accepted into the program (or close to completing your CTMBA application) by this date to start the GA application process.*
  • March 1 – to apply, candidates must complete and submit the Graduate Assistanship Form by this date to be considered. Completing this form will place you in the pool to be considered for all open COBE GAships.

*Students who begin their CTMBA application after February 15, and wish to apply for a GAship, will be considered on a space-available basis.

If you’d like to apply for other University GAships outside of COBE, visit the University GAships webpage.
