Are Teaching Assistantships (TA) and Graduate Student Research (GSR) positions available?

Many graduate students serve in one of these two positions for all or most of their graduate student career. These positions offer professional development, research opportunities and significant financial rewards. In addition to a monthly salary, these positions provide a full or partial fee waiver. We currently offer most qualified graduate students a TA position during the first year of study. Students entering with a strong background in computer science may be offered a GSR position if there is a good match between a research program and a student’s background. The rapid increase in Ph.D. enrollments in the past two years has significantly decreased the likelihood of TA or GSR funding for M.S. students.
