  1. The practices of graduate education in chemistry shape the quantity, quality and diversity of Ph.D. chemists throughout the workforce. Those who go on to academic careers influence the diversity of the professoriate that then shapes the next generation of chemists. This chapter reviews a comparative, quantitative analysis of trends in the productivity and diversity of chemistry Ph.D.s awarded by top US Ph.D.-granting departments in recent decades. Using time series data for individual graduate programs from a public database, departments are compared with each other and with national averages. The findings highlight departments that stand out— both positively and negatively—from their peers in educating a diverse group of Ph.D. chemists. Qualitative data suggests best practices for improving diversity in doctoral departments.
