Share of Humanities Departments Providing Career Preparation Opportunities to Doctoral Students, by Activity Type, 2017

Certain career preparation activities were more likely to be offered to doctoral than master’s students. More than half of humanities departments offered occupationally oriented presentations. Occupationally oriented coursework or workshops were even more common, with over 60% of departments offering these to their doctoral students. Departments were somewhat less likely to offer internships to doctoral students than to students studying for a master’s degree. As was true for master’s students, however, doctoral students were very unlikely to be required by their departments to participate in such activities.11
