Hi,
I would appreciate if anyone could give me some advice about GA coaching positions. As a graduate assistant coach, do you have to take master courses or would it be possible to take postbac premed courses during your time as a GA?
Would being a grad assistant coach be a potential way to fund a postbac premed program?
Thanks in advance!
Quick search suggests you must be enrolled in a graduate program. Unlikely they’ll hire you if you’re not in a degree program but instead are trying to cobble together a bunch of undergrad courses you didn’t take for your degree. But all schools are different. Look at specific postings.
Hell no you could not take premed courses as a GA coach. One schools wouldn't allow you to and two you wouldn't have the time. If you are a good graduate assistant coach you are putting in freaking crazy hours along with often having to work a second job to support yourself. If you want to do premed then just do it, but a coaching grad assistantship will not get you there. Maybe check into research ones but honestly premed has such a high demand you may just have to bite the bullet and pay.
