Students enrolled in coursework only graduate programs are typically not provided funding support. TA positions in the MIE department are limited in numbers, and are generally reserved for PhD students. RA positions are decided by individual faculty based on their lab needs, and if you find on-going research that is a good match for your interests and expertise, you are welcome to reach out to see if they have openings. In addition to our departmental policies, please refer to Riccio College of Engineering and Graduate School assistantship and externship policies for additional guidelines.
