A six-year program providing training for ten individuals in science education and seven in mathematics education research is described. Lists of program objectives, requirements and course work for the program, and faculty members involved are included along with information on selection of trainees, enrollment by year, resulting dissertation…

The principal objectives of this study of the costs and benefits of graduate education (the Gradcost Study) were: (1) to collect on a comprehensive nationwide basis published and other available information concerning the total costs and benefits of graduate education in colleges and universities; and (2) to summarize and analyze this information…

This paper presents the results of a study of the output of Canadian universities as measured by graduate degrees conferred or by graduates produced. The study was conducted to answer 2 basic questions: (1) Do Quebec universities train enough qualified manpower in comparison with the other provinces? and (2) Encouraged by funds and by the Quebec…

The Multiple Alternatives Program (MAP) represented an open experimental approach to graduate education. Assuming attitudinal changes must necessarily precede effective new learning, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of MAP on attitudes and self-concepts of participants. The statistically significant findings indicate that the…

Overall summaries of 1968 enrollments for advanced degrees are presented in tables 1 and 2. Table 1 reports enrollment for master's and doctoral degrees, and table 2 reports enrollment for…

The author of this paper assumes that more persons will desire to enter the field of physics than will be able to find employment in this field. The question is how and at what stage in their careers should some of these prospective physicists be "deflected" from their chosen field. A case is made for this decision being made at the entrance to…

Many graduate programs in communication are plagued by "schizophrenia": a wish for relevance to today's problems on the one hand and an allegiance to objective research on the other. Rather than scrapping traditional practices, graduate programs should continue to emphasize the training of research scholars. The research tradition has…

Current data on graduate student support and manpower resources in graduate science education are important to science administrators, educators, and others concerned with the education of highly qualified scientists and engineers and other related manpower issues. They are also of interest to prospective graduate students, vocational counselors,…

In order to fill the 171 new community colleges opened between 1965 and 1970, more teachers are needed - especially innovative teachers who put student success in learning first.

A SURVEY WAS MADE OF 18 UNIVERSITIES WITH ACCREDITED PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR PREPARATION TO ASCERTAIN HOW THE SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES HAVE BEEN INTEGRATED INTO THEIR PROGRAMS, AND TO EVALUATE THE HYPOTHESIS THAT INCREASED EMPHASIS UPON AN INTERDISIPLINARY APPROACH WOULD PRODUCE MORE EFFECTIVE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS. FINDINGS WERE…

Reasons behind the fact that there are fewer women scientists than men scientists are explored in this paper. Data on the number of women Ph.D.'s in each field of science for the years 1966 through 1974 are presented and analyzed. Graduate school admissions policies and the greater attrition rate for women in graduate school compared to men are…

The rates at which men and women attend graduate and professional school were compared in a large national sample of college seniors followed up a year after graduation. Women attended less often, even women with very high grades. Women were particularly underrepresented in law and medicine. When the attendance rates of individuals who had planned…
