Chemistry Majors Study Abroad

According to the American Chemical Society:

• Studying abroad can make you more attractive to graduate schools, particularly if you conduct research or learn another language while overseas
• Conducting research in a new environment will enhance your laboratory skills and allow you to learn the chemical sciences from an international perspective
• Science and technology are becoming increasingly global and there is a growing demand for scientists and engineers who can work effectively in an international setting
