The PhD program in the School of Mathematics is fully funded. Most of our students are funded through Graduate assistantships, typically in the form of a teaching assistantship. Funding offers are renewable for up to six years.

The MS is unfunded, except for the MS with Emphasis in Math Education, which offers funding in the form of a Teaching assistantship renewable for up to two years.
