ARC offers many employment opportunities for Muhlenberg students which are meant to support their professional development.
Peer Tutor
Peer tutors work with students individually and in small groups to better understand course content and develop course-specific learning strategies.
Qualifications: Students must be in good standing, maintain an overall GPA of 3.2* or higher, have an A in the course tutored, be nominated by the instructor for that course, and have no significant history of judicial or academic integrity code violations. (* First-year students must have a minimum GPA of 3.5.)
How to Apply: Students who have been nominated by one or more faculty and meet our qualifications will be sent an application. Applications are accepted for the fall and spring semesters. Applicants must complete a competitive interview and participate in an introductory orientation and training.
Workshop Tutor
Workshop tutors help students deepen their understanding of core course concepts and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They work in collaboration with their assigned faculty partner to facilitate weekly course workshops.
Qualifications: Students must be current tutors before they are eligible to apply for this position.
How to Apply: Unsolicited applications are not accepted. Current tutors should speak with us about their interest in this position prior to application. Applications are accepted in the fall and spring semesters. Faculty recommendations, past job performance, and communication skills are heavily weighted in making our final decision.
Learning Assistant
Learning assistants help students deepen their understanding of core course concepts and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They work in close partnership with their assigned faculty partner, are integrated into the course, facilitate weekly course workshops, and hold office hours.
Qualifications: Students must be current tutors before they are eligible to apply for this position. Learning assistants must complete a one-unit course on personal and cognitive development in the fall semester concurrent with the start of their position.
How to Apply: Unsolicited applications are not accepted. Current tutors should speak with us about their interest in this position prior to application. Applications are only accepted in the spring semester. With only 25 total positions each year, the selection process is highly deliberative. Our decisions are based on a variety of factors including but not limited to overall and major GPA, strength of faculty recommendations, past job performance, and communication skills. Because each faculty partner works so closely with their assigned learning assistant, their recommendations are heavily weighted in making our final decision.
