There are opportunities for partial funding through the Boston College Office of Housing in graduate assistant and staff assistant positions. These positions pay room and board (valued at $8,000) and provide valuable professional experience in residence life administration. There are also full time Resident Director positions for students with Master's degrees and residence life experience. These positions carry room, board, salary, and tuition.  Students interested in any of these positions should contact Residential Life as soon as possible. (Final position offer is contingent upon admission into the Higher Education program.)

Many of the colleges around the Boston region also have part time housing positions that pay room, board, and sometimes additional stipends. Babson Collge, Simmons College, Pine Manor College, and Mt. Ida College are examples of nearby institutions that have employed B.C. Higher Education graduate students part time in their residence halls.
