Master of Science Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences Graduate Assistantships

McNair Scholars at KSU Aquaculture Center

A limited number of graduate research assistantships are available for qualified, full-time, thesis-track Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences students. Assistantships are typically funded through grants from state and federal agencies and are awarded only after a student has been academically accepted into the program. Additionally, a student should be able to verify that academic aid is essential to engage in graduate studies and that they are academically deserving. Academic acceptance does not guarantee an assistantship will be available.

Students granted graduate assistantships are required to assist with activities relevant to the grant objectives for 20 hours per week while attending classes and full-time during the summer term. Compensation package includes a competitive stipend, opportunities to travel to and present research at professional meetings, and engage in a range of hands-on learning opportunities.

Research areas include:

Aquatic Diseases
Genetics		 Extension Activities
Aquaponics
Economics		 Recirculating Systems
