HA positions can include a variety of activities, from research assistance and lab work to independent study, tutoring, and project or program development. Students can apprentice in either academic or administrative departments.
Please visit the HA website to see the sample position descriptions and a list of FAQs about the HA: www.mnstate.edu/honors-apprentice.
