Ph.D. Career Resources
A common theme has emerged from interviews with various stakeholders (see, for example,
Re-envisioning the
Ph.D.: What Concerns Do We Have?), studies (such as Ph.D.'s-Ten Years Later and At Cross Purposes), and
the 2000 Re-envisioning Conference (see Meta-themes for Conference conclusions). These sources all suggest that
doctoral students and Ph.D.'s want and need preparation for a wider range of career options. In response, we have
put together a collection of resources that address preparation for a variety of paths. These lists are by no means
exhaustive, and we welcome suggestions for further additions at envision@u.washington.edu.
