Are graduate assistantships available?

Yes. However, these merit-based awards are quite competitive. In order to be considered for most graduate assistantships, your application must be received by March. Finalists for these awards generally have GPAs and GMAT scores that are well above the program averages. You should apply for a graduate assistantship with your application at: http://www.cofc.edu/gradschool/current/pdf_forms/graduateassistantship.pdf.

We typically offer 8 graduate assistantships each year which pay $3,100 per semester ($6,200 per year) plus in-state tuition and fees (for out-of-state residents) for the 2007-08 academic year. Our graduate assistants normally work 10 hours per week. Their work involves services to a department, office, or faculty member.

Are student loans available to MACC students?

Yes. Currently graduate students may borrow from several student loan programs. These programs are constantly changing. For specific program requirements and application materials, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid (http://www.cofc.edu/finaid)

Foreign students generally do not qualify for U. S.-based student loans.
