Beyond the Classroom. Toward a Career.
Schar PhD+ is the Schar School’s comprehensive professional development suite for doctoral students in political science and public policy. Across the school and the broader university, students have access to a wide range of enriching opportunities—workshops, research talks, guest speakers, writing groups, and community events.
PhD+ brings these resources together in one place, making it easier for students to discover what’s happening on campus and take full advantage. Our goal is to enhance and extend the doctoral experience by helping students build the skills, networks, and professional competencies that support long-term career success.
Schar PhD+ Poster Session
Held each December, the Schar School PhD Poster Session is a required milestone for second-year political science and public policy doctoral students. All other Schar School PhD students are welcome and encouraged to participate.
