Overview

We provide a strong foundation for graduate work in chemistry, biochemistry, and related areas. We prepare students for careers in industry, teaching, and the medical and health sciences.

Highlights

The Chemistry Department at Carleton College graduates an average of 30 students per year, out of a total campus enrollment about 2000 students (data from 2009 to 2014).

On average, one-third of all chemistry majors go on to Ph.D. programs in chemistry or related fields.

Between 10-15% of our majors enter medically-related professional school. The remaining students enter the job market and other professional programs-with a combination of chemistry and the liberal arts, they have pursued careers in education, architecture, engineering, business, law, and the ministry.
