Candid Advice to Plan for Success

About this book

Pursuing a Doctoral Degree demystifies the journey of selecting a program, navigating the application process, and engaging in the work required to complete a doctorate.

Drawing on extensive interviews from over 20 diverse, accomplished professionals who have successfully attained doctorates, this book provides a roadmap to inform prospective doctoral students' decision-making process. With in-depth insights into the nitty-gritty of doctoral programs – including coursework, time management, relationships inside and outside academia, the final project, future employment, and more – readers will benefit from a comprehensive picture of the requirements, benefits, and challenges that are inherent in completing a terminal degree.

Both forthright and conversational in tone, this book is the perfect starting place for students considering a doctorate, embarking on the application process, or in the initial stages of a program.
