Graduate Research Assistants (GRA) work with professors or staff to conduct research, support initiatives, and develop industry skills. Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA) assist professors in conducting classes and labs, reviewing projects, and grading exams. GRA and GTA positions provide a 12-credit tuition waiver, along with a monthly stipend. The stipend amount varies according to the student’s academic home department. Students with GRAs or GTAs are still responsible for mandatory fees and tuition supplements.
A GRA or GTA may be awarded at the time of admission, or you may inquire through your degree program director, or apply for posted opportunities on campus. It is possible to secure an assistantship prior to arriving on campus by meeting faculty during a campus visit or applying to online postings in various schools and colleges on campus.
Many students take care of their expenses by working part-time jobs either on campus or at local companies.
F1 students on visas can work off campus if they:
- have been a full-time student for at least two semesters
- have authorization from the Department of Homeland Security/Office of International Education (OIE)
The work must be in their field of study. F1 students can obtain authorization to work off campus as either Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical Training (OPT).
