MAHE ASSISTANTSHIPS

An important feature of Taylor's M.A. in Higher Education & Student Development is the availability of on-campus assistantships.

Each full-time student is guaranteed an assistantship, and will receive a minimum stipend amount of $3000 per year. More significantly, approximately 25 assistantships will be available at $5000 to $8,000 per year for selected full-time students.
