The program highlights how chemistry affects each part of our modern lives and why it is often called the “central science” with a substantial overlap between both biology and physics. You will have valuable research opportunities in many areas of chemistry — including organic, medicinal, physical, computational, biological, inorganic, analytical, organometallic, environmental and green chemistry. You will also have hands-on laboratory training with access to modern scientific instrumentation. By joining IC’s student-led Chemistry Club, you will be involved in the community with outreach events and activities in a fun, relaxed environment. You will have opportunities to gain experience as a supplemental instructor or a laboratory teaching assistant in general and organic chemistry courses.
