Diversity in Faculty Careers: Formative and Summative Assessment in a “Preparing Future Faculty” CourseAbstractDoctoral students’ understanding of the diversity of careers in higher education is an importantcomponent of their career development. During their doctoral study, emphasis is placed onresearch and coursework. Additionally, doctoral students are mentored during this time byresearch-focused faculty. However, many faculty positions across the nation are not research-focused and it is important to provide doctoral students with an understanding of the diversity offaculty careers available to them.
