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!

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 MS only Northern Colorado University: Joe Elkins, Steve Anderson Kansas State University: Iris Totten MS or PhD (I think) Michigan State University: Julie Libarkin North Carolina State University: David McConnell Western Michigan University: Heather Petcovic Arizona State University: Steve Semken Purdue University: Eric Riggs, Dan Shepardson University of South Florida: Jeff Ryan, Len Vacher Texas A&M: Bruce Herbert University of Akron: David Steer Take care and Happy Holidays!
