College Student Personnel MS Program
Graduate Assistantship Opportunities
The Division of Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, and the Department of University Housing work closely with the CSP Program to provide internships, practicums, and paid graduate assistantships throughout the university. Students in the CSP Program who possess the requisite qualifications are given preferential consideration for these assistantships.
Graduate assistantships are typically ten to twelve month contracts, requiring approximately 20 hours of work each week. Remuneration packages typically include a monthly stipend, university sponsored health insurance, and a full-tuition waiver (of both in-state and out-of-state tuition). These opportunities are highly competitive.
Assistantship opportunities vary from year to year. To give you an idea of the kind of GA positions that may be available, go to http://elps.utk.edu/college_student_personnel/GAPositions.html. This website lists assistantships that will be available for the 2009-10 school year.
The Department of University Housing also has numerous assistantships available each academic year. For information on these assistantships, go to: http://uthousing.utk.edu/GArecruit.shtml. Please note that if you wish to apply for Housing assistantships, you must complete the separate Department of Housing assistantship application. The Department of Housing coordinates their own interviews and it is necessary to complete the necessary application materials in order to be considered for an interview.
