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.

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.
