Financial Support

The Department offers approximately 50 teaching assistantships. Assistantships for Masters and Ph.D. students currently range from  $15,000-$19,000 for the nine month academic year in addition to a tuition scholarship.  Summer support for active Ph.D. students of $2,000 is also available.

The majority of our full-time students are fully funded as teaching assistants within our department. Additional graduate assistantships may also be available outside of the mathematics and statistics department. See bgsu.edu/graduate/graduate-assistantships.html for more information. Additional financial support in the form of fellowships, scholarships and awards is also available, see bgsu.edu/graduate/fellowships-scholarships-and-awards.html.

All classes taught by the Department are small individual sections of 30 or fewer students -- we offer no large lecture classes. Teaching assistants are assigned small individual classes in calculus, pre-calculus, or statistics (MATH 1310 and below). This involves five to six contact hours per week with undergraduate students.
