Graduate Assistantships

The nursing department at Missouri State offers two graduate assistantships designed to support your education and help cover educational costs. Other assistantships are located across campus. Graduate assistants can receive a fee waiver that covers up to 15 credit hours for the fall and spring semesters and up to nine credit hours for the summer semester. Assistants also receive a stipend for their part-time work. The amount varies based on the type of work the assistantship requires.
