The assistantship program is mandatory—every student, based on his or her personal area of interest, and in consultation with a faculty mentor, is placed in a graduate assistantship position. Each assistantship is designed as an educational experience providing the student with marketable skills as well as a stipend. Stipend amounts for assistantships vary from a minimum of $4,000-$5,000 per year, depending on the specific opportunity and skills requirements. Students with an assistantship in Residence Life also receive housing and seven meals per week.

    "Taylor’s MAHE program offers a robust, holistic understanding of today’s higher education climate. Thanks to its in-person, hands-on approach, I have not only gained valuable knowledge and experience as a hall director, but also a deeper awareness of Christ’s preeminence in this realm of work."
