Graduate Assistantships
STA offers graduate assistantships to a number of its graduate students each year on a competitive basis. Full assistantships require 20 hours of work per week and include a 100% waiver of tuition (Oxford campus-specific activity fees may still apply), plus a stipend to cover living expenses. Partial assistantships are also occasionally awarded. Most graduate assistants are assigned duties on campus, such as:
- Assisting in one or more statistics classes
- Assisting with projects in the Statistical
Consulting Center - Working in some other capacity (e.g., as a
research assistant)
Additional graduate assistantships are funded externally. Students in these positions commonly spend two days per week off campus performing specialized work for the funding agency.
Currently, we are supporting two graduate students annually with these externally funded assignments at Procter & Gamble.
Career Opportunities
