Many Graduate students are hired by professors to work on
funded research projects. These students conduct research for faculty
and are paid by the school of MAE.
Master's students will not generally be offered a research assistantship until
after demonstrating at least a semester of hard work, motivation, and research
proficiency within coursework and the laboratory setting. Doctoral
applicants are usually offered research assistantships at the same time the
applicant is admitted to the Graduate Program.
