A number of Graduate Assistantships (GA’s) are available to qualified students based upon academic merit. Available assistantships vary from year to year. IMBA GA’s are assigned 20 hours of work per week for each semester (excluding summer).  GA’s normally work with a professor which provides an opportunity to build relationships with faculty and work on research projects. The assistantships provide a great financial benefit to IMBA students, including: (1) tuition waiver and (2) a monthly stipend. The award of Graduate Assistantships is considered as part of the admission process.  There is no separate application form for an Assistantship.
