Chemical Physics Major


The Chemical Physics major is intended for those students who desire a more theoretical physics-oriented education.
 

Requirements - Foundation: Chemistry 1 (or 11 or 16) and 2 (or 12); Physics 1 (or 11) and 2 (or 12); Mathematics 11, 12, and 13 (or 17 and 18). Concentration: Ten credits of more advanced, one credit courses – four credits in Chemistry (with a perquisite of Chem 2 or 12), four credits in Physics (with a perquisite of Phys 2 or 12), and two credits in Mathematics (Math 46 or courses with a prerequisite of Math 13, 18, or 46). The courses must include the following: Physics 13; one credit in advanced laboratory training, either Physics 64 (counts as one advanced physics course) or both Chemistry 33 and 34 (count as one advanced chemistry course); either Chemistry 31 or Physics 52; either Chemistry 32 or Physics 61; and either Chemistry 51 or Chemistry 61. Faculty advisers in the chemistry and physics departments are available for consultation about the chemical physics program.
