Chemistry
The professors have definitely been helpful and encouraging students to pursue graduate schools or careers. If you want to go into a certain profession they will help you do that. They'll tell you what you need. They do everything they can to really help you through the process. They're not just a research mentor but a life mentor, basically. It's a really great bond that you're able to form with the people who've gone through it before. They've done Ph.D. programs. They've done research. It's really good they're there as a support system for you.

Students learn how to answer questions in their profession through the research process. Mentoring students through this process provides faculty the opportunity to stay abreast of recent developments in the field.

Some of the most impactful classes I’ve taken in the IES program are “First and Second Language Acquisition”, “Creative Drama for Child/Youth”, and “Foundations of Education”. These courses have prepared me to create an extraordinary classroom environment that promotes student success through memorable and fun ways of learning.
