Teaching Assistantships

To accommodate students' interests in teaching, the department offers paid teaching assistantships in most Visual Arts courses via GradGargoyle. Teaching assistantships are applied for in the preceding summer quarter for the following academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring). MFA students are also encouraged to apply for assistantships in other departments across the university.

Visual Arts Teaching Fellowship

In their last quarter of residence, students are invited to apply for a Visual Arts Teaching Fellowship, which offers the opportunity to teach four courses in the department in the year following graduation.
