Financial Totals for a Six-Semester Plan of Study

Tuition and tuition waiver, fee, stipend/salary, and fellowship amounts listed are subject to change by action of the Kansas Legislature, Kansas Board of Regents, Wichita State University, the College of Fine Arts, and the School of Art, Design and Creative Industries. 

GTA appointment and employment are contingent upon a satisfactory background check as required by Kansas Board of Regents policy.

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. Continuation of a GTA appointment is based on regular evaluation of GTA performance and academic progress.

Tuition waivers apply only to courses numbered 500 and above.

GTA stipend/salary is taxable income and paid bi-weekly (usually 9 payments) during each fall and spring semester.

As a rule, graduate students with a GTA must be enrolled in a minimum of 9 credits per semester. With approval of the primary academic adviser, graduate coordinator and Art, Design and Creative Industries director, semester enrollment may drop to 6-8 credits. GTAs must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 3.0. They cannot hold other WSU paid employment without the written approval of the primary academic adviser, graduate coordinator, Art, Design & Creative Industries director and dead of the Graduate School. MFA in Art GTAs must similarly have written approval for other non-WSU paid employment from the primary academic adviser, graduate coordinator and Art, Design and Creative Industries director.
