What is a graduate assistant?
Specifically, a graduate assistant is a student who is enrolled as a full-time graduate student who receives a stipend for services rendered working at 20 hours per week (usually tied to an area of academic pursuit). Typically, graduate assistants perform in capacities such as research assistants, teaching assistants, or internships. A full assistantship at DePaul is considered working the equivalent of 20 hour work week.
