ASSISTANTSHIPS

The Digital Media (DM) program offers graduate research and teaching assistantships. Most DM Ph.D. students receive support for four years on a year-to-year basis while making progress toward their degree.

As a graduate assistant, a DM Ph.D. student generally works 20 hours a week (1/2 time) and earns a stipend of $1800 per month. Georgia Tech tuition for Graduate Assistants is waived; however, students are required to pay all Georgia Tech student fees.

Students working as graduate assistants must register with the Georgia Tech Payroll department as university employees. Graduate assistants are paid once per month beginning with the first month of employment.
