Welcome to WRTC: How to Pay for
Graduate School. A great option are
graduate assistantships. A graduate
assistantship pays for a full-time
students tuition in addition to giving
them a stipend to live off of.
We strive to fully fund all accepted
full-time students. GA benefits extend
beyond the financial to include
workplace experience, documents and
artifacts for your portfolio, networking
opportunities, and increasing
technological skills. Popular graduate
assistantships include working
one-on-one with faculty on research
projects, tutoring in the University
Writing Center, teaching first-year
writing, and working in on-campus offices.
Research assistantships help WRTC
professors with their current projects
and can include things like
transcription, library queries, and digital
research. Office assistantships work on
various office specific tasks including
creating web content, graphic design
projects, organization branding, grant
writing and much more! Popular offices on campus include the Cohen Center, the
Office of Outreach and Engagement, the
University Health Center, the Counseling
Center, and Digital Marketing. Teaching
assistantships are available to
second-year students after taking WRTC's
612 teaching writing in the second
semester of study.
If you have questions, please reach out
email WRTC Graduate Director, Jen
Almjeld.
