Assistantships are available for Metropolitan College graduate students through individual academic departments or programs. They typically range from 3 to 20 hours per week, allowing students to earn up to $6,180 per semester (paid in weekly installments) to assist with living expenses. Contact your department or program (information below) after receiving an offer of admission to a graduate program for information on the availability of assistantships and details about the application process.
Please note: While new students may apply for an assistantship in their first semester, priority may be given to continuing students.
