Graduate Assistantship Program

Each year BJU awards graduate assistantships to outstanding students who wish to pursue a graduate degree or a second undergraduate degree. An assistantship runs for two years and yields a competitive wage that allows the assistant to pay a special rate for room, board and tuition, while leaving a cash stipend each month. The tuition covers an academic load of 6 to 10* semester hours during the work agreement.

While the majority of these assistantships are awarded to Bob Jones University graduates, a few are given to other graduate applicants of outstanding merit.

Teaching & Residence Hall Graduate Assistants

Teaching and residence hall graduate assistants work/teach half-time for four semesters on a 9-month basis. Work/teaching duties are assigned by the Director of Educational Services. The agreement begins during the month of August.

Staff Graduate Assistants

Staff graduate assistants work 28 hours during four semesters and 40 hours during two complete summers on a 12-month basis with a maximum of 10 non-paid working days off per year.* Specific duties are assigned by the department manager.

*International student requirements will differ.
