Attractions graduate school

The problems, I think, at the graduate level are much, much different, in my opinion, than at the undergraduate level. At the graduate level, you do have a smaller pool. The small pool of minority students who are interested in graduate school and who are well prepared tend to get offers to go to graduate schools at Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Duke, and all the top places. We have a difficult time recruiting top minority graduate students. So, we have to try to build an environment that makes it more attractive to them. 

Human resources are an essential component for leadership in chemistry. To conduct leading research, it is necessary to attract and retain the best and brightest S E students from the United States and abroad as they move from undergraduate to graduate school, from graduate school to postdoctoral work, and from postdoctoral positions to faculty and research positions in academe, industry, government, and the nonprofit sector. To provide a broad context, this section first examines trends and key characteristics of S E human resources. Then, salient features of the U.S. supply of chemists particularly at the graduate level are explored. 

You have likely researched the graduate programs in which you are interested. Perhaps you are attracted to the work of certain faculty members and have decided you want to study with them. Maybe you know the reputations of a particular program and want the career opportunities it can offer. You may desire to go to a school close to where you live. If you have not investigated your options, now is the time to do that. You can search online for information, contact schools directly, and ask reference librarians to help you search.
