About PGA

Welcome to the Placement for Graduate Assistants hosted by Student Affairs!

The Placement for Graduate Assistants, or PGA, is Auburn’s annual interview day that provides prospective graduate students the opportunity to interview for graduate assistantships and learn more about our campus and resources.

By participating in PGA, prospective graduate students can learn more about departments of interest, meet faculty and staff within the Higher Education Administration program, and connect with current graduate assistants in the Higher Education Student Association, or HESA.

If you have questions, email pga@auburn.edu or contact Student Affairs at 334-844-1329.
