Enhancing graduate education in chemistry: the ACS office of graduate education

摘要

Almost half (47%) of the students who complete a bachelor's degree in chemistry choose to pursue an advanced degree in the chemical sciences (1). Some students are motivated by the rich intellectual challenges and opportunities of scientific research. Others might be motivated by more pragmatic concerns such as a desire to enhance career opportunities, increase lifetime earning power, or wait for the economy to improve. Regardless of their reasons, the American Chemical Society (ACS) is committed to helping these students receive a high quality and effective education.
