GTA appointments require an approximate load of 20 hours per week. Duties can be found on the College of Fine Arts website.
GTAs are required to attend the Graduate School GTA Orientation at the start of the first GTA appointment, and complete the ARTS 790 Graduate Teaching Seminar course as part of the MFA plan of study.
