UNLV Graduate Assistantship Fall 2023

Type: Awards, Grants, Fellowships [View all]
Posted by: University of Nevada Las Vegas
Deadline: Wed, February 1st, 2023

Applicants to the University of Nevada Las Vegas MFA Art Program Fall 2023 are encouraged to apply for a Graduate Assistantship for the 2023-24 academic year. The Department of Art Master of Fine Arts Program offers Graduate Assistantships in teaching, research, and professional development which financially support and advance students who have rare opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research, contribute to the development of curriculum, manage studios and shops, and work alongside community members, local organizations, and other departments on campus. 

Assistantship packages include: tuition waivers, $15,000 stipends for 9-month contracts, and healthcare insurance.

The GA tuition waiver is the equivalent of a full-tuition waiver when the candidate enrolls in 9 credits each Fall and Spring and 3 credits each Summer of the 60-credit program. It is expected that the Graduate Assistant will spend 20 hours per week fulfilling research or teaching requirements.

The three-year Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program is self-directed, studio-based, and research-focused with an emphasis on creative practice, interdisciplinarity, community engagement, and professional development. Each MFA candidate is provided with private studio space with 24-hour access and approved access to department studio labs. Throughout the program students conduct practice and text-based research, presenting their work in studio visits, exhibitions, MFA Open Studios, and group critique with faculty, peers, visiting artists, curators, scholars, and community members.
