What is a Graduate Assistantship?
Graduate Assistants are students that have been accepted into
a Master's program at SUNY Cortland and are given the opportunity
to work within an academic department or other units on campus.
There are a large number of departments within the SUNY Cortland
community that offer these great opportunities.
Graduate Assistantships may take two forms:
1. Research - some students may be assigned primary research
responsibilities for a specific project or program.
2. Teaching - some students may be assigned teaching responsibilities
or other instructor tasks as assigned by a faculty supervisor.
3. Athletics - some students may be assigned coaching
responsibilities for various athletic teams.
4. Offices - some students may be assigned responsibilities
in offices of various departments including Graduate Studies,
Sponsored Programs, ASAP or Institutional Research.

Compensation
Graduate Assistantships typically provide a maximum of 6 credit
hours of tuition per semester coupled with an academic year stipend
averaging between $5,000 - $7,000 for a maximum of 20 hours per
week for the academic year. Out-of-state graduate students who
have Graduate Assistantships will not be responsible for paying
the difference between resident and non-resident tuition for the
six credit hours. Graduate students who do not receive a stipend
work approximately 10 hours per week while class is in session.
