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 challengesThe 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.
