Rotation program recommended for ChEMS dept
Pros
-A decent scope of research in ChEMS dept with a lot of interdisciplinary collaborations -Most professors in the dept are decent advisor, some of them are great. -Abundant resources from the uni and graduate school (seminars, workshops, coffee hour and luncheons) on career development -A lot of the graduate students are able to start a career with big chemical companies
Cons
-As in most graduate schools, graduate students are underrepresented and powerless in some bad situations. Therefore, choosing a good advisor is vital to your well-being/sanity during the program -However, one doesn't have the choice of rotating between several labs before choosing a project/advisor. You only get to talk to a few professors and senior graduate students before making the big decision.
