Graduate assistantships (GAs) are an instrumental part of the CSL experience for full-time students. GA positions for Fall 2027 will be available on the website in October of 2026.

GA Application Checklist

• Review the list of available positions below.
• Identify three to four positions you are interested in.
• Apply for those positions by following the instructions in each position description.
• You can submit these applications while you are applying to the academic program. You do not have to wait for an interview or to be accepted into the program. Securing a GA position can be a competitive process.
• You may be contacted and even interviewed by the supervisor of a graduate assistantship before your program interview. However, you will not receive an offer until you have been admitted into the academic program.
• GA funding is highly likely, but full funding is not. Funding amounts are dependent upon the organization and vary by position.
