What Graduate Students Need to Know: Different Academic Career Options

An overview of the different types of institutions of higher learning. 

 
Maybe you've been thinking about an academic career, but you are wondering what the process is like and what you should do. We’ll discuss answers to several important questions, including: 

  • How are faculty jobs at research institutions (R1, R2, R3) different from regional comprehensive institutions? From liberal arts colleges? From community colleges? 
  • What do these institutions look for in candidates and how do you begin to build your portfolio and CV towards these positions while in graduate school? 
  • What are some key UMBC resources that can help you if you are pursuing an academic career?

We hope you join us!
