Graduate Assistantships
The Department of English awards two types of assistantships. Current graduate students and applicants for graduate study are eligible to apply for appointments as Instructional Assistants (IAs). Those who have already completed 18 graduate hours in English and who have sufficient teaching experience may be considered for appointments as Teaching Assistants (TAs). To be considered for an appointment, applicants must have at least 12 required credit hours remaining to complete in their degree plan during the year in which they will hold an appointment. No exceptions to this requirement will be granted.[more information about IA/TA assistantships]
