Chemistry
Are you are considering a career in chemistry? Are you thinking about advanced studies in related areas such as environmental science, biochemistry, pharmacy, forensic chemistry, chemical engineering, or medicine? If so a degree in chemistry is what you need.
Chemistry majors experience small classes, opportunities for research, close interaction with faculty, and enhanced access to nearby government laboratories.
Chemistry graduates find employment at agencies like the National Institutes of Health, the Naval Research Lab, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Smithsonian. Our graduates also work in private industry or as high school teachers. Those who go directly on to graduate school attend some of the top postgraduate programs in the U.S., where they obtain Ph.D.'s in Chemistry, Material Science, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacy as well as professional degrees in medicine and dentistry. If any of these possibilities interest you, consider majoring in chemistry.
