Teaching Assistantships for MA Students Heading link
MA students may be eligible for a 50% FTE Teaching Assistantship for one year during their second year. (For 2019-2020 the rate was $19,730 for 9 months.) The department is unable to provide MA teaching assistantships for third year students. The Assistantship carries a tuition and partial fee waiver and a stipend, not to mention invaluable teaching experience. In addition, a number of Graduate Assistantship and Graduate Hourly positions are available at UIC, some of which may also provide a tuition waiver including during the first (non-TA) year. The links below will help you navigate the tuition & fees for the MA program as well as Graduate Assistant and other positions at UIC. If you have further questions, please contact us.
