Hi Julie,

Many thanks for putting together this useful list!  I would just add that my colleague Steve Reynolds also mentors MS and PhD students in Geoscience Education.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2009!

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
*List may not be exhaustive
