Each semester, our Economics Department hires a limited number of undergraduate students for Undergraduate Teaching Assistantships (UGTAs).
UGTAs are assigned to introductory and upper-division Economics courses offered by the Department of Economics (West Lafayette campus) with greater than 30 students. UGTAs assist with various classroom duties such as grading, assisting with office hours, providing review sessions, proctoring exams and other duties to assist the instructor. Expectation of work is up to 10 hours/week.
Applications for Spring 2024 are now being accepted. Applications not meeting requirements will not be considered. Find the online application here.
Applications are not final until an UNOFFICIAL transcript is received. Please send your unofficial transcript to Mary Schultz at schultm@purdue.edu.
Assignments will be made the end of December.
Fall UGTAs with faculty approval will receive priority placement in spring. Since classes change each semester, if a UGTA position is not available for the same course/instructor, the UGTA will be placed with another class/instructor as long as one is available.
Unassigned applicants who meet all the UGTA qualifications will have their application kept on file and will be contacted if there are additional openings.
Questions can be directed to Mary Schultz, Executive Assistant of the Economics Department, at schultm@purdue.edu.
