The Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign is hosting a virtual visit on Saturday, October 12, 2024, targeted towards juniors, seniors, post-baccalaureate, and Masters students in the chemical sciences from diverse backgrounds. Specifically, we would like to extend an invitation to those interested in pursuing a PhD in Chemistry.
Participants will learn about the research conducted in the six chemistry areas at Chemistry at Illinois; organic, inorganic, physical chemistry, chemical biology, materials, and analytical. They will also be able to network with current graduate students, including meeting with members of our chemistry faculty.
The participants will learn about:
- What fellowships are available for students in the chemical sciences
- What constitutes a robust application to Chemistry at the University of Illinois
- What programs are available to support students of color during their time at the University of Illinois
Applying to the University of Illinois is exciting because:
- Both subject and general GREs are not required for admission into the program
- There are various resources available for underrepresented students in chemistry
- For underrepresented students, applying to our program is FREE through the Big 10 Academic Alliance
