This article is the 3rd in a series of investigations into the supply and demand of qualified counselor educators for the oncoming millennium.As part of a continuing investigation, this article represents the most recent findings on the supply of and opportunities for counselor educators. The first study (Maples, 1989) and the second study (Maples, Altekruse, & Testa, 1993) collected data on counselor education vacancies from position announcements in the Chronicle of Higher Education and Counseling Today. This article reviews the results of the third study, which sought to compare the number of qualified applicants now with the number of applicants in 1993 as well as the average number of faculty per department now to that in 1993. In addition, more extensive information was collected regarding (a) the specialty areas most sought after, (b) the rate of ethnic minority and female hiring, (c) the preferred degree and experience level of new hires, (d) the rank and tenure track status of the advertised positions, and (e) the ordinal rank (first choice, second choice) of the person hired.In Maples's 1989 article, results of a formal survey of 25 institutions with a total of 38 faculty vacancies showed the mean number of qualified applicants (those meeting all published criteria) was seven. All respondents indicated that this number of applicants was considerably lower than those received for earlier vacancies. M a y Finn Maples is a professor; a n d Daniel P.
