Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes. It is often characterized as the central science because chemistry appears just about everywhere, from physics to biology to material science to industrial production. The American Chemical Society provides an excellent resource for thoroughly exploring all the careers available to those who study chemistry.

 

The chemistry major with the general chemistry option prepares students for a variety of possible careers in chemistry laboratories and in chemistry-related fields like forensics or pharmaceutical sales. It is also excellent preparation for pre-professional programs in medicine, dentistry, medical technology, and similar programs. Requirements for the general chemistry major include prescribed ancillary courses in computer science, mathematics and physics. A minor or a second major is also required.
