Doctoral Virtual Learning Platform: Beyond the Professoriate
How Do You Prefer to Learn?
Live Sessions
These events are an opportunity for you to learn directly from the Beyond the Professoriate team. They’ll share research-informed curriculum to help you learn proven strategies for your job search in and beyond the professoriate.
Self-Paced Digital Courses
The most commonly asked questions by doctoral students and Postdocs at all career stages are addressed via a 20-30-minute video format by FACULTY and PROFESSIONAL careers.
Multi-Session Learning Communities
Do you feel uncertain about your professional future? Join our virtual learning community, “What Can I Do with my PhD?” Similar to a flipped classroom, you will watch videos and complete workbook activities before each live session. Offered every semester.
How to Use this Learning Platform?
Doctoral students and Postdoctoral Scholars of all disciplines have 24/7 access to an e-learning platform, Beyond the Professoriate. There are two main types of content provided (see menu tabs on the left for more details):
- asynchronous, recorded content (in a curriculum fashion with videos you can watch at any time) on faculty and industry careers;
- scheduled, live webinars that target specific topics throughout the year (registration via the platform is required to attend or to receive the recording).
How to Log In?
To access the platform, visit Beyond the Professoriate (this is the access link, please click) and you will be prompted to select your institution from the list. Choose "University of Maryland - College Park" and you will be redirected to your UMD Central Authentication Service (CAS) page to input your directory ID and passphrase.
