How many assistantships tend to circulate each year?
We probably have in the range of about 150 per year. Those are purely based on whether you meet certain eligibility criteria. So international students are able to secure the positions, as well as domestic students. And certainly the people who need tuition reimbursement will be the ones [most likely to vie for a work-study position], but there are people who genuinely would like to work for a certain professor or for a certain office. For example, our admissions office usually has about six graduate students who work with us.
