Employment and Graduate Assistantships

At Ball State, we offer more than 800 graduate assistant jobs to new and continuing students each year. If you are interested in becoming a graduate assistant, you should apply through your academic department.

You are eligible for a position as long as you are in good academic standing, and you are enrolled in at least 6 hours per semester. Some departments have additional requirements, and application deadlines also vary by department. All graduate assistant positions are posted through Cardinal ViewJobs.

As a graduate assistant, you receive a full or partial waiver of tuition, depending on whether you work 20 hours a week or 10 hours a week (you'll still be responsible for some fees). You’ll also receive a stipend determined by the department offering the position along with bookstore discounts and other perks. You can review the Guidelines and Information for Ball State University Graduate and Doctoral Assistantships.
