Assistantships
According to College of Education's website: Graduate assistantships are available for new and continuing students in the College of Education. Students may assist faculty with research projects, play a role in teaching college courses or provide other services to the college or university. Graduate assistantships vary from one-quarter time to one-half time (20 hours per week). Half-time assistantships also include a waiver of the out-of-state portion of tuition, a waiver of nine credits of in-state tuition each fall and spring semester and five credits in the summer, and paid enrollment in the university's graduate student health insurance plan. Students can hold a research assistantship and/or a teaching assistantship. Hybrid students can be offered a one-semester assistantship. The videos below will hopefully answer some specific questions that you might have.
