UGTA Opportunities

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant Opportunities

Each term the Undergraduate Affairs Committee selects a pool of undergraduates from among highly qualified applicants for paid teaching assistantships in sociology. These undergraduates do everything graduate TAs do: prepare, proctor, and mark exams; assist with problems concerning course material; read papers, etc. They work 10-20 hours per week and are paid at the standard undergraduate rate. TA-ships are sufficiently demanding that sociology does not permit undergraduate TAs to hold other employment while they are in these positions.

Applicants should apply online. An application will be available toward the end of Spring 2013 semester. Applicants must have a grade point average of at least 3.2, and should have completed most of the requirements for the major in Sociology.
