Graduate Program


The department of mathematics offers masters of science degrees in mathematics as well as Ph.D. degrees in a broad range of research areas. Our program is flexible enough to meet students’ individual career goals, yet sufficiently structured to guarantee rigor and breadth. Personal attention and close contact with faculty are prominent qualities of our graduate program.

  

The math department employs approximately 25 graduate assistants each year.Graduate assistantships carry a full tuition and fee waiver, monthly living stipend and health insurance.  The academic year stipend for a master’s student is $11,349 and $15,795 for Ph.D. students.  There are a variety of teaching and research opportunities in the summer that give valuable experience and supplementary pay. 

 

Graduate assistants are typically required to teach one undergraduate course per semester.  First-year students normally teach College Algebra or Trigonometry.  Second and third-year students might teach Calculus or higher-level math courses.  Research assistantships may be available depending on a student’s area of interest.  These are awarded to advanced graduate students who are working with a dissertation advisor.
