How to Decide Between An Academic and Nonacademic Career [special webinar series]

December 8 - 11, 12pm - 1pm (online)

PhDs work wherever smart people are needed. In today’s creative economy, a faculty career isn’t the only option for PhDs who are seeking engaging and rewarding work. PhDs work in every part of the economy – industry, nonprofits, higher education, and government.
