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.
