Data from 650 ACS approved institutions show that, for organic chemistry, it was more likely that the material for laboratory courses was delivered face-to-face than for the lecture courses. The trend for smaller institutions to deliver more of the content face-to-face was also evident in this data set (with 56% of the schools with fewer than 2000 students delivering lab content in person). Even at the largest institutions (more than 10,000 students), the data showed that a third or more of the programs offered lab courses in person
Specifically the data showed that, for institutions
