Department of Mathematics & Statistics
The majority of our graduate students are funded through part time Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA). The beginning stipend for the 2004-2005 academic year is $15,000. All students in good standing are provided support for the two summer sessions at $2,500 per session. Out-of-state tuition is waived and excellent medical benefits are provided. Generally, GTA's are required to teach 2 lower level, undergraduate courses once they have accrued 18 graduate credit hours. If graduate students do not have classroom teaching responsibilities, they are given grading duties or leadership of course homework sessions.
Typically, the Mathematics & Statistics Department awards more than $10,000 in special graduate scholarships. The scholarships are funded from the following endowments:
- Ronald M. Anderson
- Benjamin S. Duran
- Gordon Fuller
- Patrick Odell
- Hermann Reynolds
- SIAM
- John T. White
In addition, graduate students are eligible to receive summer thesis scholarships that provide one month summer support with no teaching obligations. Also, the Graduate School usually awards five Chancellors Fellowships to our department in the amount of $5,000 per year.
