Masters Program

Topic: “Getting accepted into a counseling masters program and getting a graduate assistant ship”

“The graduate assistant ship is a gem of an opportunity for any graduate student. There are at least three different benefits of such a position:

1. Unique networking and mentorship opportunity: working with departmental faculty allows the graduate assistant to interact closely on various projects for added academic development.

2. A professional jump-start: A graduate assistant can “practice” being in an administrative and/or teaching position to add valuable experience to the academic and professional preparation program.

3. Saving money: Most if not all graduate assistant positions offer compensation in the form of credits, stipends, or both. In addition to meeting academic standards, getting accepted into a graduate program is really nothing more than presenting oneself as a professionally-minded individual with some preliminary goals.”

This paper will also present guidelines and tips for acceptance into a counseling graduate program as well as landing a valuable graduate assistant ship.
