Over 1,000 members of the geoscience community contributed to the development of the vision for the future of geoscience undergraduate education in the United States. The level of input to the development of the vision was measured, on the academic side, by institution type (Table D-1), and on the employer side, by industrial sector (Table D-2). The level of input reflects the total number of contribution points — individuals attending summits, responses to surveys, or progress reports submitted.
Additionally, we have listed all academic institutions which had representatives contribute to the vision, as well as employers who were engaged in the process too. The list does not include participants from additional academic institutions and employers who provided anonymous responses to the survey.
| Institution Type | Inputs to the Vision |
|---|---|
| Community Colleges | 11% |
| Bachelor’s Granting | 33% |
| Terminal Master’s-granting | 6% |
| Non-US Doctoral-granting | 1% |
| Research 1 Doctoral-granting | 31% |
| Other Doctoral-granting | 18% |
| All Doctoral-granting | 50% |
Table D.1 Magnitude of inputs (summit attendance, survey responses, and progress reports) by institution type.
