MAHE ASSISTANTSHIPS

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

These assistantships are designed as educational experiences and will provide students with meaningful and marketable skills that will serve them well as they seek professional positions upon graduation from the program.
