Davis Technology
Graduate Assistant Application
Fall 2014/Spring 2015/Summer 2015
Becoming a Davis College of Business Graduate Assistant is a high honor. To qualify for an
appointment as a Davis Technology Graduate Assistant, you must have a solid scholastic record, a
strong undergraduate background in your major field, and for foreign students must have demonstrated
evidence of a high level of English proficiency. The assistantships will be merit based and granted to
students who have excelled academically, can provide outstanding letters of recommendation, and have
basic technology skills.
Requirements:
All applicants must be at least conditionally admitted as potential graduate degree candidates in order to
be considered for appointments.
Criteria:
Strong candidates will:
 have a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA in their undergraduate work
 have a competitive GMAT or GRE score
The minimum technological skills the Davis Technology Graduate Assistants should have:
 Comfortable with learning and demonstrating new technologies
 Have above average skills in the Microsoft Office programs
 Can work independently on technology projects
Examples of what the Davis Technology Graduate Assistants would help with:
 Help with keeping up the technology library.
 Help faculty making videos and do some basic video editing.
 Help faculty go paperless
Award:
Normally the assistantship awards will be somewhere between one third and one half of the student’s
tuition. Awards will be granted to maximize the benefit of both the students and the Graduate Programs.
The Graduate Assistants will be responsible for paying the balance of their tuition and their assistantship
will continue into the next semester only if their account is in good standing.
Graduate Assistants must maintain at least a B (3.0) average and will be required to work a total of 150
hours per Fall and Spring 8 week terms and 80 hours per Summer 8 week terms for the Davis College of
Business on technology related projects that support the needs of the College. Should any Assistant fall
below the GPA requirements or otherwise lapse in good standing within the program, the award will be
revoked and the student will be responsible for the full tuition in the next semester and thereafter.
