Assistantships and Other Funding
Teaching Assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis by the MSCS department when admission decisions are made. Duties include teaching and grading undergraduate mathematics courses and tutoring students in the Mathematics and Sciences Learning Center.
Teaching Assistants (TA) earn a stipend plus a Tuition and Service Fee Waiver. The typical TA enrols for at least 12 semester hours each term. Students must remain in good standing to continue in MSCS toward degree completion and to be considered for funding. Refer to the Graduate Student Handbook for specific guidelines.
Research Assistants (RA) also earn a stipend plus a Tuition and Service Fee Waiver. RAs work with MSCS faculty organizing and analyzing data, preparing publications, and perform other research activities.
Tuition and Service Fee Waivers
Each semester MSCS is awarded a limited number of Graduate College Tuition Waivers. Students are selected based on academic merit, independent of financial need. Students granted this type of waiver must enrol for at least 12 semester hours each term of their award (6 hours for a summer term award).
