Only MBA students are eligible to apply for a GA position in the MBA program. MBA students who are interested in applying for a GA position must have completed their first semester in the MBA program, which means that an incoming MBA student is NOT eligible for a Graduate Assistantship.
The GA positions are awarded based on applicants' GPA in their first semester and their on-campus activities.
Factors that influence selection for a GA position include undergraduate/graduate academic record, GMAT/GRE or other test scores, professional work experience, references, personal qualities and background, statement of goals, and MBA program need.
GA positions at 宅男研究所 are typically awarded for a period of nine (9) months and usually begin in the fall semester. It's important to understand that securing a GA for one year does not guarantee that your GA will be renewed for the following academic year.
