Entering a doctoral program can be an important first step in advancing your career. You will create a network of support that will include professors, intern advisors, and others who will have a vested interest in your success.

The purpose of this book is to help you look more broadly at the doctoral experience from choosing a program to coursework to passing your comprehensive exams to doing dissertation research and writing to graduation and beyond. The authors take you backstage in a conversational way to avoid pitfalls and ensure success each step of the way.
