Career
Internship Opportunities for Grad Students
Only a limited number of graduate assistantships (GAs) are available to full-time students with outstanding academic records. Acceptance into the program does not guarantee a GA and each student must apply if interested. If selected for a GA, duties may include laboratory supervision and teaching. Stipends are competitive and include a tuition waiver to cover a portion of the tuition. Students in the 3+2 program are eligible for the GA in the last semester of their senior year after they have applied for graduation for their bachelor’s degree. Those awarded assistantships must continually maintain a GPA of at least 3.0. After you have been accepted to the M.S. Chemistry program, you may apply for a graduate assistantship on the EKU Employment Website (search for chemistry positions). Visit the Graduate Assistantship Website for more information.
