They are part of a hidden curriculum that you are just expected to know or somehow learn on your own—or else. Jessica McCrory Calarco will highlight portions of her book and walk you through the secret knowledge and skills that are essential for navigating every critical stage of the postgraduate experience, from deciding whether to go to grad school in the first place to finishing your degree and landing a job. An invaluable resource for every prospective and current grad student in any discipline, A Field Guide to Grad School will save you grief—and help you thrive—in school and beyond.
