The education of doctoral chemists contributes to the chemical research enterprise and thus to innovation as an engine of the economy. This quantitative analysis describes trends in the production and diversity of chemistry Ph.D. degrees in the top-50 U.S. Ph.D.-granting departments in the past two decades. Time series data for individual departments from the Integrated Postsecondary Educational Data System are compared with aggregate data from the National Science Foundation.
The results highlight departments that stand out from their peers in educating a diverse group of Ph.D. chemists. Best practices for diversity in doctoral education in chemistry are recommended.
