Graduate education can be utilized by working professionals as an advancement to their careers. This paper presents the results of a Delphi survey sent to 31experts in the construction industry. A survey questionnaire was developed to ask the participants about their perceptions of the relevance of the current graduate-level construction management courses in developing senior-level construction managers. A curriculum analysis of 34 graduate CM programs in the United States was conducted. The resulting data from the curriculum analysis is utilized in developing the survey questionnaire. The study is part of a larger research Delphi study that aimed at identifying the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities required for senior-level managers in the construction industry. Two phases of the survey were sent to participants in this Delphi study. The results of the study indicate that the current graduate programs in construction management across the United States of America are not adequately focused on developing senior-level construction managers.

Unlike the liberal arts college, American graduate education started as and continues to be a secular affair. The last four decades, however, have produced growth in both the number and quality of Christian graduate programs. The question we asked is: do American Christian institutions engage in graduate education Christianly? To answer this question for Protestants, we undertook a theologically-guided discourse analysis of the 638 graduate programs at the 41 top ranked Protestant Christian universities in the United States. In particular, we looked at the marketing, objectives, and curriculum. We found only one-third of the graduate programs demonstrated even one piece of evidence demonstrating Christian distinctiveness.

Citation Counts

This paper uses citation counts, over the period 1971–1992, to rank the top 250 academic economists in the United States. Schools were ranked by the number of top 250 economists a university had on their faculty. Graduate programs were ranked by those Ph.D. programs which have produced the greatest number of the top 250 academic economists. The paper's principal finding is that five universities, Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, MIT, and Princeton are the elite among all Universities.

Canadian Context

The goal of this chapter is to contribute to the investigation of teachers that are gifted and talented (GATE teachers) by shedding light on the experience of immigrant GATE teachers. The authors position the case within Canadian graduate education and within the context of education of immigrant teachers. More specifically, they present the case study of a GATE teacher as she navigates through the masters of education program at a major Canadian school of education. The presentation of the case study is followed by the discussion of how it contributes to the conversation about GATE teachers and immigrant teachers within Canadian context. The chapter ends with the overview of implications of the study for the United States' context.

Employment Patterns

A glaring mismatch exists between anthropology graduate programs in the United States and the careers of their graduates. Here, I focus on gaps in Ph.D. curricula, but similar patterns characterize many M. A. programs as well. In this article, I challenge the academic anthropology establishment to show that it is providing doctoral students with the knowledge, perspectives, and skills they need to realize optimal work lives. In my view, they are not. Nor are most students being prepared to weigh the ethics of getting the job done outside the ivory towers. Below I present data concerning curriculum offerings and degree requirements at the twenty largest anthropology Ph.D. programs in the nation. To provide context, I first remind the reader of employment patterns for new anthropology Ph.D.s. in the United States.
