GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP SALARY & TUITION

Minimum salary: $1400 per month on a full-time (20 hour / 50% FTE) assistantship. The maximum may be found by checking the current minimum for an Academic A, Rank II faculty member in your college and multiplying by 50% FTE. Salary schedules are available on the human resources website.

Assistantships include tuition and are not subject to non-resident fees. Current GA salary and tuition rates are available on the graduate school website here.

GA insurance costs are included in the 15% fringe rate charged against GA salaries.

Please note that tuition has increased by 15% per year for the past two years. Since the current graduate assistant tuition rate is $151.12 per credit, it is not unreasonable to expect tuition costs to be approximately $175 per credit next year (FY 2011), $200 per credit the year after that, and $230 the year after that. The average credit load per semester is 9 with 3 in the summer, totaling 21 per year. However, credits requested per GA range from 6 to 12 per semester.
