The Graduate Teaching Assistant Program (GTAP) prepares graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) for their role through a variety of professional development experiences. 

These enhanced teaching skills, wielded by GTAs who are often the first instructors to which undergraduate students are exposed, increase the educational value of Michigan State University as a whole.

Graduate teaching assistants will be automatically added to the GTA email listserv and will periodically receive updates about ongoing professional development opportunities.

The GTA Preparation Programs have been developed by Dr. Stefanie Baier and the ⁠GREAT Advisory Group. Please contact GRADTeaching@grd.msu.edu with any questions regarding the Graduate Teaching Assistant Program.
