Connect Your Academic Training to Your Professional Aspirations
PATHS is a Mellon-funded professional development initiative that complements the academic training received by UChicago Ph.D. students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to launch careers in academia, industry, nonprofits, and government.
PATHS is implemented by UChicagoGRAD and conceived collaboratively by deans and faculty from the Humanities Division, Social Sciences Division, and Divinity School. The program features internship opportunities, skill-building courses and workshops, one-on-one advising, conversations with alumni, and treks (employer site visits)—all tailored to the needs of humanities Ph.D. students. The program is made possible by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
