Beschreibung:
A roadmap to the grad school experience, this guide features expert advice on many different steps and challenges that students encounter in master’s and doctoral programs. Conversational chapters integrate advice, encouragement, and anecdotes to address specific components of the grad school process.
In the current academic climate, initial decisions—like choosing an advisor—critically shape future opportunities. Students need a consistent, reliable, and up-to-date resource. In this authoritative guide, faculty from various universities, positions, and backgrounds offer sage advice, responding to concerns identified by graduate student members themselves. Moving through the text, readers learn about the transition from undergrad to graduate-level expectations, special considerations for students of marginalized groups, graduate assistantships, the importance of key decisions, comprehensive exams, writing the thesis or dissertation, publishing, conferences, navigating the job search, and making a career in a tenure track position.
