Every semester the department employs over 50 teaching assistants. These are graduate students in mathematics  who usually  either (a)  tutor students in the Mathematics laboratory, (b) conduct recitations for Calculus classes or (c) grade various courses. Generally teaching assistants do not teach regular courses.

Teaching assistants receive a monthly salary and benefits for the 9-month academic year and a Doctoral Student Tuition Fellowship (DSTF) when allowed. A DSTF pays tuition and fees for 9 hours of courses each semester. Students wishing to register for more than 9 semester credit hours in a semester pay for these hours at the resident tuition rate. A DSTF can only be held for a total of five years for doctoral students.

Salaries for teaching fellows vary depending on qualifications, program levels and academic progress.  For more detailed information about salaries and benefits please contact the Graduate Advisor.
