What Can I Do With a Major in... Chemistry
|
Chemistry majors focus on learning about life processes at both the micro and macro level. Most of the courses in chemistry will require working on experiments in a laboratory and drawing conclusions based on observations. These observations lead to a better understanding of the physical world. Students interested in chemistry are generally good at math, thinking logically, and problem-solving. They also enjoy performing experiments and working in a laboratory and have good communication skills. Chemistry is a field of study which offers many different career paths and opportunities. Students with an undergraduate degree in chemistry generally find entry-level jobs such as lab coordinator or research assistant. A master's degree is usually required for applied lab research, and a Ph.D. is needed for becoming a university professor or research lab manager. Other sample job titles include radiologist, chemist, surgeon, researcher, and pharmacist.
