Thanks!

Thank you both for the information. The IU website inferred you went straight through to the Ed.D. It stated that to enter the program one needed significant work experience OR a masters in higher education. But perhaps this is an anomaly. Thanks.

I am strongly considering going the path of higher education administration, but had a few questions. I would attend the Higher Education Program at Indiana University, first receiving a masters and then the Ed.D (not the PhD, since I want to work in admin). I believe Indiana's University administration program is ranked #5 by US news. What kind of positions does one usually get coming out of a high ranked university administration doctoral program with no job experience? Does one start as a dean, or should I expect more entry level positions and working up. Anyone know starting salaries. I have seen around 40K for the masters degree, so I imagine a bit more for the doctoral program. Do you think University Admin offer much job security? How is the current market in general? Any other insight into this career path you can give me would be appreciated.

Obviously none are "in demand" so to speak. However, which fields tend to have an easier time finding TT positions. Suppose we break it down into Ancient History, Classical Philosophy, Archeology and Art, and Philology. What about compared to other fields of history and philosophy. Thanks.

Emory is one of the BEST schools in Medicine and Public Health in the US. Biostats tends to fall under public health, so you are fine. Plus its a hot field anyways. You will find a job.

Sorry for the delayed response... I am an American at an American University, but would love to Study classics in the UK and then work there. Is the market for humanities as bad in the UK as the US? Would being an American put me at a significant disadvantage for UK professor jobs. If it makes any difference, I am looking at Scottish unis (Edinburgh and St Andrews). In short, can I realistically expect to find employment after graduation in the UK, either as a professor(ideally) or perhaps some other university job (administration etc). Thanks! Edit: Also, I am looking at the requirements a bit more and am curious if they are as relaxed as they seem. It seems for example that no GRE is required. Furthermore, it seems that fluency in Latin/Greek is not required(some masters offer intro courses) and no French/German is required. I know some Latin, but my interest is largely historical in translation, so this seems to good to be true. (I only looked at the St Andrews site)
