Teaching Assistantships

A teaching assistantship is a position where a student supports college faculty by helping with teaching tasks like grading, leading discussions, or tutoring other students. In exchange, the student often receives a stipend or wages, and sometimes tuition waivers or fee reductions. This arrangement provides practical teaching experience and financial assistance, typically available to graduate or advanced students pursuing their degrees. Teaching assistantships foster professional development by allowing students to deepen their understanding of their subject area while contributing to the educational mission of the institution.
