What is the GTA (graduate teaching associate program)? Is it separate from admission to grad school? Do I need to do one to do the other?

The GTA program gives students the opportunity to teach in the classroom while pursuing their own studies. We take pride in the extensive training of our Graduate Teaching Associates. We have a robust GTA program, with around a dozen graduate students currently teaching as part of their graduate studies in the Department of Communication. It is a separate application process in addition to admissions and you must be a graduate student to be eligible to be considered.
