Peterson's Graduate Programs in Engineering & Applied Sciences contains a wealth of information on colleges and universities that offer graduate degrees in the fields of Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering; Agricultural Engineering & Bioengineering; Architectural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering & Biotechnology; Chemical Engineering; Civil & Environmental Engineering; Computer Science & Information Technology; Electrical & Computer Engineering; Energy & Power engineering; Engineering Design; Engineering Physics; Geological, Mineral/Mining, and Petroleum Engineering; Industrial Engineering; Management of Engineering & Technology; Materials Sciences & Engineering; Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics; Ocean Engineering; Paper & Textile Engineering; and Telecommunications. Up-to-date data, collected through Peterson's Annual Survey of Graduate and Professional Institutions, provides valuable information on degree offerings, professional accreditation, jointly offered degrees, part-time and evening/weekend programs, postbaccalaureate distance degrees, faculty, students, degree requirements, entrance requirements, expenses, financial support, faculty research, and unit head and application contact information. As an added bonus, readers will find a helpful "See Close-Up" link to in-depth program descriptions written by some of these institutions. These Close-Ups offer detailed information about the specific program or department, faculty members and their research, and links to the program Web site. In addition, there are valuable articles on financial assistance and support at the graduate level and the graduate admissions process, with special advice for international and minority students. Another article discusses important facts about accreditation and provides a current list of accrediting agencies.

The basic structure of universities and colleges in Ontario - one focused primarily on expansion and greater access and put in place in the 1960s - is outdated. The system is now large enough, the eligible age group for entering post-secondary studies is shrinking, and participation rates are as high as they are likely to go. In Rethinking Higher Education, George Fallis argues that policy-makers should shift their attention away from growth and towards improving and diversifying the range of programs available and creating new means of program delivery. He calls for increases in honours undergraduate programs and polytechnic education and envisions a group of research-intensive universities responsible for doctoral education. The existing design, Fallis contends, neglects the specific needs of graduate education and research, layering it on top of a system designed for undergraduate education. In addition, there is disconnection between Ontario's Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities and the research missions of the universities and colleges themselves. Fallis recommends that Ontario establish a system for documenting and assessing the quality of research published at universities. Thought-provoking and thoroughly argued, Rethinking Higher Education provides a detailed design for higher education in the twenty-first century.

As demographic changes reduce the number of domestic students in Europe attracting the right students and scholars will become more important for administrators and faculty at higher education institutions in Germany. Especially the US is an important potential source of students for study abroad an degree programs in Germany, particularly those taught in English. As US universities begin to deploy more aggressive marketing tactics in international recruitment, it is important to understand both US recruitment practices and Germany's differential advantages. The book is written in English. The ordering process on this website is in German. English-speakers should write service@wbv.de Durch die demografische Entwicklung wird die Zahl der einheimischen Studenten in Europa sinken. Gleichzeitig wird die Zahl der amerikanischen Studenten in den nächsten Jahren noch zunehmen. Um so wichtiger ist es für die Verwaltung deutscher Hochschulen, amerikanische Studenten für ein Studium in Deutschland zu gewinnen. Viele Kurse in Master-Studiengängen werden zudem in englischer Sprache angeboten. Der Band analysiert das US-amerikanische Universitätssystem, zeigt die Anwerbepraxis amerikanischer Hochschulen und informiert über die Möglichkeit der Zusammenarbeit deutscher und US-amerikanischer Hochschulen. Das Buch ist in Englisch geschreiben.
