How do I become a graduate assistant?

Answer

FSU offers graduate assistantship opportunities through individual colleges, departments, and centers, each of which manages its own recruitment and selection process. Graduate students who are interested in becoming a graduate assistant (GA) are encouraged to contact their academic department or college for more information related to open positions.   Students may also contact departments and centers outside of their academic area; however, graduate assistantships are usually limited to students within their home department.

Summary

Graduate assistantships are managed by individual departments, and interested students should contact their academic department or college directly. While you may inquire with other units, most positions are awarded within a student?s own department.
