Versatile PhD (found in Tulane’s career resources page) is designed for non-academic career help. It allows you to look at real resumes and cover letters of PhDs that were recently hired, gives first-person stories of career development and details information on a wide range of PhD career paths. New members can just create a VPhD account and have access.
Health Resources
Student health resources can be found at the Campus Health website. Here you can schedule appointments at the student health center, find information on counseling services (CAPS), and find information on student health insurance (Insurance and Billing).
All full time students must have a Tulane approved health insurance plan. Students enrolled in the school insurance plan who are not PhD candidates yet, are required to pay the student health center fee each year. They may then have access to the student health center for visits without a copay.
For health insurance information related to international students, please visit the OISS website.
