On-Campus Employment

Working at The Arbiter Student Newspaper

On-campus work can be a great way to get meaningful professional experience in the US. There are lots of options at Boise State University, including the library, IT Helpdesk, housing, and in academic departments. Work as a graduate assistant is considered on-campus employment. In most cases, if your job takes place on-campus and directly serves Boise State students, then it is “on-campus work”.  This means employment in the bookstore or cafeteria is acceptable, even if operated by a private commercial firm. If you are not sure about what counts as on-campus employment, please contact International Student Services.

Career Services has a lot of helpful information about how to find meaningful on-campus work.
