Graduate Teaching/Research Assistantships

Truman offers a number of Graduate Teaching/Research Assistantship (GTRA) positions for qualified applicants pursuing a master’s degree in:

• Accountancy
• Athletic Training
• Education
• English
• Music

The GTRA positions allow graduate students to augment their studies by working with faculty and administrators in professional experiences. The assistantship includes a cash stipend and a fee waiver of up to nine credit hours per academic semester. All books, supplies, and special course fees are the responsibility of the student. The GTRA is contracted to work on a one-fourth time (quarter-time) basis, and some assistantships are renewable for a second year.

How Can I Be Considered?

• Prospective Graduate Student
  You can indicate your interest in GTRA positions when you complete the Application for Graduate Programs
