Resumen
This is a review of chemical education activities, starting in the 19th century with the beginnings of academic chemistry in the United States. The interaction of academic chemistry and the chemical industry as a "training ground" at both the undergraduate and graduate levels permanently shaped the nature of the environment for academic chemistry. That condition still persists today. The paper describes the evolution of the undergraduate and graduate educational experiences under the influence of ACS policies. The growing impact of interactive digital technology on the educational process is developed and a future-oriented scenario is presented.
