Academic Opportunities

The Chemistry major collaborates with the Physics major and other majors in the natural sciences when structuring courses and interdisciplinary research. This gives many of our students the freedom to pursue a double major or compliment their Chemistry major with coursework from other disciplines that may fit their desired career path.
