Subject: List of MS or PhD programs in Geoscience Education/Geocognition
All:
I am compiling a list of MS or PhD programs in Geoscience Education or Geocognition to post on my website. I have a list, but I am not confident that the list is complete nor entirely accurate. I would appreciate it if you could email me if you have additions or corrections for this list. Some of these programs are housed in geoscience departments, some are housed in education departments, and some are in interdisciplinary institutes. I have not included programs that more broadly target earth/space/astronomy education on this specific list as
lists of space/astronomy education programs exist elsewhere. I think the growth of graduate education opportunities in geosci ed/geocog over the past three years is amazing! Well done, everyone!
Tentative List of Geoscience Education/Geocognition Programs
