Graduate Assistantship Positions

Graduate Assistantships in the Division of Student Affairs are designed to supplement your classroom experience with practical experience. The Division of Student Affairs offers many assistantship opportunities. Given the partnership with The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education, first consideration goes to those students applying for admission to the College Student Personnel program.

The graduate assistantship application process and the academic admissions process are separate but concurrent processes. Visit How to Apply to learn more about the application process for assistantships and for the College Student Personnel program. 

For all graduate assistantship applications, a resume, cover letter, and list of professional references are required.  

Other employment opportunities are available on Ohio University Jobs.
