GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS
Baylor University graduate students may apply for annual graduate assistantships in the Institute for Oral History. Applications are accepted in the spring for the academic year beginning the following summer.
As editorial assistants in oral history, graduate students learn the principles of oral history interviewing and editing. They participate in the research of the Institute by editing the transcripts prepared by undergraduate transcribers, assisting faculty members with preparation for interviews, and by conducting field interviews. All Institute for Oral History graduate assistants work fifteen hours per week in our office suite on the third floor of the Carroll Library. The assistantships offer tuition remission and a monthly stipend. All students applying for assistantships in the Institute must be enrolled in the Baylor University Graduate School.
