Chemistry majors are typically preparing for admission to graduate or professional schools as well as pursuing employment in the chemical industry with their bachelor's degree.
The chemistry department at CSU prepared me to enter graduate school with a highly competitive resume. The department allowed me to work as a lab assistant from sophomore year to graduation. I also worked as an undergraduate research assistant, and publication resulted from this experience. A career fair at CSU connected me with a chemical lab in the Charleston area; I worked as an intern at this lab for over a year. After graduation I was awarded a Department of Homeland Security HS-STEM grant and participated in a 10 week internship at a national laboratory. I was accepted to multiple graduate schools and was offered various fellowships. Because I had so many options, it meant I had the freedom to choose a graduate research program based on what I wanted. None of these achievements would have been possible without the support and expertise of the chemistry department at Charleston Southern University.
