Chemical Physics Major


The Chemical Physics major, also American Chemical Society certified, is intended for those students who desire a more theoretical physics-oriented education.

Requirements - Ten courses as follows. Foundation: Chemistry 1 (or 11 or 16) and 2 (or 12), plus four more advanced courses in chemistry; two courses in mathematics more advanced than Mathematics 13, and four courses in physics more advanced than Physics 2 or 12. Either Physics 64 or Chemistry 34 must be included. With the exception of these, one physics course and one chemistry course may be replaced by approved courses in related fields. Faculty advisers in the chemistry and physics departments are available for consultation about the chemical physics program.
