Graduate Assistantships

Gain important experience and take up to 12 credit hours each semester and pay no tuition costs (some fees still apply) by working as a graduate assistant in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

You’ll work 20 hours a week helping students in the computer lab, tutoring students in the Learning Center, assisting with research duties, or teaching a class. You’ll need to be enrolled full-time, taking at least 6 credit hours. Our department awards between 12 and 13  graduate assistant positions each year and supports a total of about 25 graduate assistants within the department. We begin reviewing applications February 1, so it’s important to complete the department application process early.

We also offer special summer-only graduate assistant positions if you’re pursuing a mathematics education master’s degree. Complete a special online  application or download the application packet (PDF) by April 15 for first-round consideration for positions.  Duties are the same as academic year assistant positions. Find out more about summer-only positions.

During the fall and spring semesters, you also can consider working as a graduate assistant in other departments throughout the university. You can view available positions and learn more about being a graduate assistant.
