Graduate assistantships are available for master's and doctoral students up to $7,000 plus tuition remission. Assistantships carry teaching responsibilities of two undergraduate classes or other responsibilities not to exceed twenty hours per week. The University provides remission, including student activity fees, for all graduate assistants working at least 20 hours per week during the regular school year. The student is, however, responsible for any music fees (from applied lessons) that are generated. For details see the School of Music Graduate Handbook.
