GTAs usually teach 5-6 hours of classes, or perform some combination of
teaching and tutoring work for 20 hours/week.
A GTA must enroll in a minimum of 6 hours of mathematics or statistics courses
for graduate credit each semester.
The department awards its graduate teaching assistantships on a competitive basis.

Assistantships pay in-state (resident) educational fees for the first 6 credit hours of the Fall and Winter semesters.
Non-resident fee status is waived for graduate assistants who are not Missouri residents.
Complete fee waivers are granted to graduate assistants whenever they are available; in the past, most of the department's graduate assistants have had 6 credit-hour fee waivers per semester.
