A growing number of people completing or holding graduate degrees
now seek non-faculty positions-also called alternative academic, or
"alt-ac" positions--at different stages in their careers. While an
increasing number of people with doctoral degrees are hunting for a
diminishing pool of tenure-track faculty jobs, most degree-granting
institutions do not adequately prepare their graduate students to
enter the new reality of the alt-ac job market. Yet the
administrative ranks in higher education institutions are growing,
as colleges and universities are creating a diverse range of
positions that support teaching and learning efforts. Focusing on
the range of potential alternative career choices, this highly
practical book offers tools and prompts for readers who are:
Considering whether to choose an alt-ac career path Seeking
specific alt-ac positions Advising graduate students or mentoring
recent professional graduates Encountering alt-ac career challenges
The authors offer case stories-their own and those of colleagues
across North America in alt-ac roles-with concrete examples
designed to help readers pursue, obtain, and excel in a wide
variety of alt-ac positions. The book can equally be used as a
resource for graduate courses on professional development and
job-market preparation.
