Most graduate students in the Department of Animal Sciences hold 50% graduate research assistantship (RA) appointments funded directly by faculty. The Department of Animal Sciences also appoints a few 50% and 25% graduate teaching assistantship (TA) appointments. Students must contact faculty members in the Department of Animal Sciences to learn of graduate research or teaching assistantship opportunities. Graduate students are expected to hold at least a 50% appointment including research, teaching, or a combination of both. Students at advanced stages of their program of studies and with expertise in the subject area have priority for TA. All research and teaching assistantships that are at least 25% and less than 67% for three-quarters of both semesters include tuition and a partial fee waiver. A TA or RA during the academic year provides tuition and a partial fee waiver for summer school.
