Exposure to graduate research begins in the first semester with the C500 Introduction to Research course. This alternative method for introducing new graduate students to research is what distinguishes IU Chemistry from other chemistry graduate programs.

The 'C500' experience allows you to test your abilities and interests by working in your chosen research group, while introducing you to the department's instrumentation, facilities, and services. At the end of your first year, you may choose to continue working in the same research group, or you may decide to conduct the remainder of your graduate career under a different mentor.
