Auburn University's Department of Communication and Journalism currently has Graduate Teaching Assistantship positions to qualified applicants enrolled in our Master Degree programs available for the 2005-2006 academic year. Graduate teaching assistantships provide wages of approximately $9,300.00 on a 9 month schedule and carry a graduate fellowship for tuition waiver. GTAs assist and teach in a variety of courses. Assistantships are awarded on the basis of the undergraduate GPA, GRE scores, letters of recommendation, the applicant's statement of purpose, and GTA application form. Assistantships cannot be awarded until admission to the Graduate School for study in the Department of Communication & Journalism has been approved. The first round deadline for applications is March 1, 2005. The Department of Communication & Journalism offers two graduate programs: Master of Arts-thesis and the Master of Arts-non-thesis. The graduate degree programs are designed to enhance existing knowledge and skills in communication theory and research, mass communication, communication studies, rhetoric, and public relations. The programs are structured to emphasize theoretical knowledge and research skills. Blending theory with application promotes original research from our graduate candidates. The Department features a highly qualified academic and professional faculty whose credentials include books, textbooks, journal articles, monographs, professional association presentations, national affiliations, regional affiliations, offices in national associations, professional and industry experience, plus many service-oriented contributions to the fields of Communication, Broadcasting, Journalism, and Public Relations.
