Often students find that majoring in chemistry limits their ability to have experiences abroad relative to their peers in the humanities and social sciences. Listen and learn about one example of a program designed to give chemistry students both an international and research experience. CUR Representative Dr. Kari Stone (Associate Professor of Chemistry at Lewis University) talks with Dr. Kyle Grice (Associate Professor of Chemistry at DePaul University) about international research experiences for undergraduates. In DePaul University’s program, projects are developed by students in concert with chemistry and biology faculty during the semester for academic credit. The capstone experience for these students is to travel to Spain to work on their projects for two and a half weeks. Dr. Grice talks about the scope of student projects and how students are evaluated and assessed at the end of the program.
