Graduate Assistant - School of Business

Master of Business Administration (MBA) Graduate Assistantships

The MBA Program offers graduate assistantships to full time students each academic year.

The Graduate Assistantship (GA) award is equivalent to full-time tuition and fees, plus an hourly rate of $10.00 an hour/ 20 hours a week for the academic year (September through April).  Full-time tuition is for nine graduate credits per term, up to a maximum of 18 graduate credits per year.

Room and board, additional tuition charges, books and incidental costs are not included.

Point Park University’s Graduate Assistantship program is designed to provide financial support and stimulating, practical learning experiences to graduate students.  Students will have an opportunity to work with faculty (including but not limited to) supporting department initiatives, administrative duties, marketing and event support, student support and possible research duties for the School of Business.

Graduate Assistant positions require up to 20 hours of work on campus per week and are only open to students who are registered, full-time degree candidates.

Graduate Assistantships are awarded for a one academic year period.  They are renewable for a second year based on the recommendation of the faculty mentor; the decision will be made by the Department Chair.

Both United States citizens and international students are eligible to apply.
