Graduate students can apply to academic department-based graduate assistantships (GAs) advertised year-round on the SGPS and Human Resources website.
Graduate assistants must be fully admitted to the Graduate School and pursuing work leading to a Master ‘s degree, Ed.D, sixth-year certificate, post-master’s planned program, or post-baccalaureate teacher certification. Graduate assistants are appointed by the dean of the school in which the graduate assistant (GA) is to be employed upon recommendation of the department chair where the GA is to be employed. GA’s are expected to be enrolled in required courses within their planned program of graduate study and/or prerequisites necessary to offset any undergraduate deficiencies prior to undertaking the graduate program of study. To receive or maintain a GA position, a minimum GPA of 3.00 for all post-baccalaureate course work completed at SCSU is required. GA’s may be required to meet other specific criteria within the department.
Please note that additional listings may be available on the Southern Connecticut State University Human Resources (https://inside.southernct.edu/human-resources/jobs) website, and students are encouraged to check there regularly.
