Graduate school is an important and confusing time, filled with many
questions about the inner-workings of academia and decisions students
must make about their futures. The Graduate Student Guidebook: From
Orientation to Tenure Track offers an overview of this experience,
featuring expert advice on the many different steps and challenges
encountered in master’s and doctoral programs. 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.
