The Patton College partners with the following campus units to support the graduate assistantship appointments of matriculated Patton graduate students in good standing. To be considered for a position, contact the Ohio University Unit of interest to request information about the position and how to apply. Decisions about each graduate assistantship appointment are made by the partnering unit, not the Patton College. If a Patton College student is selected for one of these positions, the Patton College will provide the student with a tuition waiver for the duration of the appointment. These partnerships are reviewed for approval on a yearly basis. Graduate appointments and tuition waivers are only guaranteed for the duration of the approved appointment and year. For this reason, the information on this page will be updated yearly, in April.
