ABSTRACT

This study undertakes an evaluation of candidates and their hireability within programmatic and institutional contexts. The focus is on applicant qualifications, characteristics, and perceived fit within the program and institution. A survey of program contacts for graduate programs in public affairs analyzes candidate hireability. Results indicate clear differences between programs with similar ranking and institutional differences from Carnegie Classifications, but with little clarity on the rationale for the differences. Likewise, findings emerge relating to publishing in discipline-specific academic journals and obtaining a doctorate from online institutions. Discussions focus on implications for programs, institutions, and applicants seeking their first appointment in higher education.

摘要

本研究对候选人及其在计划和制度背景下的可雇用性进行了评估。重点是申请人的资格、特征以及在计划和机构中的适应度。对公共事务研究生课程的课程联系人的调查分析了候选人的可雇用性。结果表明，具有相似排名的项目和卡内基分类的机构差异之间存在明显差异，但对差异的基本原理知之甚少。同样，出现了与在特定学科的学术期刊上发表文章和从在线机构获得博士学位有关的发现。讨论的重点是对计划、机构和寻求高等教育首次任命的申请人的影响。
