Graduate Assistantships
A limited number of full-time and part-time graduate assistantship positions are available for graduate students at Marymount University. A full-time graduate assistantship requires 20 hours of work per week in exchange for a waiver of tuition for nine (9) credits per semester. Part-time assistantships may be either a 1/3 assistantship, which requires seven hours of work each week in exchange for a waiver of three (3) credits of tuition, or a 2/3 assistantship, which requires 14 hours of work each week in exchange for a waiver of six (6) credits of tuition. Students must be enrolled for at least six (6) credits to qualify for part-time assistantship consideration. Full-time students are given preference for all assistantships. Students on "flat-rate" tuition receive a waiver equivalent to the three, six, or nine (3, 6, or 9) credits of the 1/3, 2/3, or full assistantship, respectively.
The graduate assistant program is designed to meet several purposes. Students receive financial support for their graduate studies. In addition, students receive a valuable professional experience that supplements and supports their program of study. The university also benefits, as it gains the services of talented beginning professionals.
A list of graduate assistant positions is available from the Office of the Associate Provost of Online and Graduate Education. Current openings, and application procedures for graduate assistantships, are listed on the Marymount Jobs site.
