Five possible scenarios for the future of graduate programs in the humanities are explored based on the economic realities of increasing costs, declining enrollments, employment trends for faculty, competition for scarce resources, and cooperation among various programs. (JMF)

The impact of practice-based programs on graduate education in pharmaceutical science is discussed. It is suggested that graduate programs remain flexible in order to accommodate the role of the pharmacist-scientist and to help in attracting qualified students. (SF)

To say that the statistics on the academic job market for the humanities Ph.D. are disheartening is an understatement. In response to this problem, the University of Michigan has established a graduate career counseling and placement office to assist graduate students in exploring nonteaching alternatives. (Author)

Provides a suggested outline for a teacher education course for writing teachers that emphasizes both rhetorical theory and practice. (MKM)

Possible bias in admissions decisions on the basis of sex is analyzed. The methods of testing for bias and the results thereof for graduate academic programs at the University of California, Davis, are reported. Differences in the quality distribution, based on grade point average, between male and female applicants are incorporated. (MLW)

Of 50 students taking a graduate course in multiple regression analysis at a particular university, they tended to use multiple regression in their dissertations. (Author/JKS)

Deficiencies in graduate-school training are detailed in terms of the character of students attracted, examinations, requirements for the Doctor's degree, and the loss of a sense of proportion by graduate students. A model institution is suggested as an addition to the present graduate school. (Article originally published in 1930.) (AF)

Studies are reported which compare the orientation to professionalism of elementary and secondary school teachers and teachers involved or not involved in a graduate program. (SJL)

United States and Canadian colleges and the art therapy education programs they offer, including graduate degree programs, graduate-level certificate programs, clinical training programs, special programs, and undergraduate programs are listed. Some overseas institutions and their programs are also listed. (JMD)

For a sample of masters in education students, a moderate correlation was found between Graduate Record Examinations aptitude test scores and graduate grade point average. Results are discussed and conclusions are drawn. (JKS)

Presents a debate on the future of Master of Science (M.S.) degree programs in chemistry at nondoctoral institutions, which occurred at a regional conference held at Eastern Michigan University. (HM)

Described is a graduate course in catalysis offered at Penn State University. A detailed course outline with 30 lecture topics is presented. A list of 42 references on catalysis used in place of a textbook is provided. (BT)

Described is a graduate level engineering course on functional analysis offered at Purdue University. The course restricts itself to linear problems, specifically analysis of linear operators on vector spaces. Key applications in the course demonstrating the utility of abstract formulations are presented. (BT)

Described is a graduate level engineering course offered at Princeton University in colloidal phenomena stressing the physical and dynamical side of colloid science. The course outline, reading list, and requirements are presented. (BT)

Described is a two-semester, first year graduate level course offered at the University of Notre Dame on mathematical methods in chemical engineering. An unusual characteristic of the course is that the lectures are given on transparencies shown by an overhead projector, the students receiving printed copies of the transparencies. (BT)
