What Is a Graduate Assistantship?
Graduate Assistantships (GAs) provide financial support for students, while students gain valuable supervised professional experience in the field.
About Assistantships
Available on a competitive basis, GAs can be completed at Buffalo State or at one of our local partner campuses. A GA typically requires 20 hours of work/week and comes with tuition assistance and a stipend.
