Book Review: The New PhD

With the rising costs of tuition and the changing job market, university graduate degrees have garnered more and more scrutiny. The New PhD proposes a way to rectify some of the problems it lays out with graduate degrees. Not only does it talk about the new practices that should be put in place, but it also discusses the practical methods in how changes can be made. Does this book hold up for people outside of the academic field? West Lafayette Library Director Nick Schenkel has the review.
