Graduate Assistantships

Some students supplement their financing with a graduate assistantship. Each year, there are approximately 90 graduate assistantship positions at the McDonough School of Business. You may apply for these positions after you matriculate. First-year students typically earn $1,100 – $2,300 per semester for approximately five to ten hours of work per week. Students may not work more than 20 hours per week.

• You may seek more than one assistantship

• Positions are open to all students, including international students

• Positions are posted a few weeks before Fall and Spring semester classes begin, and new positions are posted when received

• You apply directly to the staff or faculty member offering the position

• Once offered a position, you must fill out the necessary graduate assistant paperwork with Georgetown University

International students who are offered positions must obtain a Social Security Number; the Office of Global Services will be available to guide students through this process.

All grad assistants must reside in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area because some professors may need help in person. Flex MBA Online students are eligible if they can commit to the required in-person work days. Please note that these in-person work days will not necessarily align with the required on-campus residencies.
