Assistantships
Assistantships are paid positions in which a student assists faculty in a teaching or research capacity.

Before getting a graduate teaching assistantship, they must submit TSE (Test of Spoken English) or SPEAK (Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit) scores that meet the acceptable minimum set by the university.
