Chemistry Internship & Career Opportunities
One of the many advantages a recent graduate can have over other job candidates is practical experience in their respective fields. No matter what type of chemistry you are interested in, an internship combined with a focused and flexible course of study at UIndy can help prepare you for the future.
Local connections
The Chemistry Department at UIndy provides students with hands-on training with lab equipment, but we also encourage students to seek experiences that take place outside of the classroom. We have a network of corporations, labs, and alumni that students have worked with in the past and will continue to work with in the future.
Where do UIndy students intern?
Chemistry students have gained valuable applied experiences by interning at both local and national sites, with participation in NSF REUs and research at organizations including:
- AIT Laboratories
- Corteva
- Covance
- Eli Lilly
- IU School of Medicine
- Johnson & Johnson
- Roche Diagnostics (See Roche Academy)
- The Heritage Group
Practical experience
Your chemistry courses at UIndy will prepare you by giving you a solid foundation in chemistry. When this foundation is coupled with focused classroom work and focused practical experience, students are further prepared for the real world. Internships also push students to apply what they have learned in the classroom, and allow them to build a professional network, problem-solve, and obtain experience in their chosen field.
