Undoubtedly, future applications of nanotechnology will be visible in many areas including the development of microchips for the electronics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-quote cu-component-spacing\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Honours chemistry at Carleton University provides a challenging, 20.0 credit degree that ensures a great preparation for possible graduate studies. Professors are enthusiastic and interactive, while instrument and lab technologists are helpful and friendly. Carleton offers the opportunity for undergraduate lab experience through scholarships and bursaries, as well as summer employment and teaching assistant positions. The program gives a very thorough education in chemistry but also allows room for a variety of other disciplines to be explored. I have received from Carleton everything that I expected to and much, much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em class=\"myprefix-text-italic\">~Lewis Gauthier, fourth-year Chemistry<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undergraduate programs can be found here, with three degree options to choose from: If you are planning to attend graduate school and your goal is to become a professional chemist, you should consider the Bachelor of Science (honours) program.
