One Teaching Assistant Opening for Fall 2015

 

The Department of Communication Studies at the University of North Texas is able to offer one more teaching assistantship to begin this fall! 

 

Our graduate teaching assistants are assigned to teach a variety of courses. TAs most frequently teaching "Introduction to Communication" - COMM 1010 - during their first year and then adding additional teaching opportunities as students gain experience and confidence (other TA opportunities include guiding recitation sections for: Interpersonal Communication, Performance of Literature, Rhetoric & Argument, Communication Perspectives, Small Group Communication, Organizational Communication, Storytelling, and Communication & Praxis Capstone). Each semester, the assistantship provides a salary of $1,232.22 per month at

.50 HTE for 4.5 months. Under the terms of this program, TAs will receive a 6-hour tuition scholarship each fall and spring semester (currently valued at $2,502.05) that will be automatically applied to their graduate tuition (TAs are required to take 9 hours/semester to maintain full-time standing). 

 

UNT's master's-only program is designed to facilitate student mastery of theory and research in the field of Communication Studies, to develop student research capabilities, and to enhance student preparation for various career paths or further graduate study. UNT's Department of Communication Studies offers coursework in rhetorical/critical studies, performance studies, and social science traditions (interpersonal & organizational communication). Students are afforded opportunities to explore communication from applied and theoretical perspectives, using analytical, critical, quantitative, and qualitative methodologies. The graduate experience is enhanced by opportunities to engage in one-on-one research with faculty members, participate in regional and national professional conferences and performance festivals, and complete internships with corporations, social service organizations, and government agencies.
