Peer Tutor Applications

Applications for peer tutor positions each semester are considered near the end of the previous semester (typically in November and April). Peer tutors must have sophomore standing or higher, at least a 3.3 overall GPA, and at least a 3.5 GPA in Economics courses. All applications will be considered, but preference will be given to (1) Economics majors who could tutor in at least three of ECON 101, 400, 410, and 420; and (2) students who have previous experience as a ULA or peer tutor.
