Abstract

Employment opportunities are expanding in chemical education and chemical education research. Consequently, more students are seeking to further their education in chemistry by obtaining tertiary degrees in chemical education. At the Fall 2000 ACS Meeting in Washington, DC, DivCHED sponsored a symposium highlighting several doctoral programs in chemical education in the U.S. Included in this summary is the following information regarding each program: name of university, faculty contact(s), corresponding email addresses and URLs, and a brief description of the program.
