All University of Maryland, College Park students are invited to explore paid, part-time job opportunities on campus or in the College Park vicinity at the biannual On-Campus & Part-Time Jobs Meetup.
Economics majors who are interested in pursuing careers or graduate studies in the field are welcome to apply to join Promoting Achievement and Diversity in Economics (PADE). Students who participate in PADE receive mentoring, tutoring and support for relevant coursework, and the chance to speak with professional economists about their careers and research. PADE aims to increase the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of those entering the Economics profession. You can learn more about the program here: https://econ.umd.edu/
PADE is a year-long program that offers study sessions and extra office hours for core classes like ECON321, 325, and 326, and MATH140 and 141. PADE students are supported by Professor Jessica Goldberg, the program’s faculty director, as well as a graduate assistant, and staff in the advising office. At the beginning of the semester, program staff meet with each student to set personal academic and professional goals, and to agree to a schedule of weekly academic meetings to help achieve those goals. Those meetings may include regular study sessions or participation in a reading group, with the opportunity to explore the economics research about topics of interest to students.
PADE participants will also have the chance to network with economists working at organizations such as the Federal Reserve Board, the World Bank, and the Brookings Institution, and will receive support in applying for summer internships, on-campus research assistantships and to graduate school in Economics (or related disciplines).
The expected time commitment during the academic year is 3-4 hours per week, including time spent reviewing material or assignments for other economics or math classes taken to fulfill requirements for a major in Economics. Participants receive one credit for Econ 399 each semester.
