| Chemical physics is an interdisciplinary major which combines chemistry’s study of the composition of matter with physics’ study of the properties of matter and energy. The study gives students a broad knowledge of chemical systems ranging from the behavior of atomic collisions to the interaction of subatomic particles. Chemical physics gives students the opportunity to develop skills in both disciplines and after graduation, gives them the flexibility to enter the workforce or to continue graduate study in one of several areas of science or engineering. Areas such as solar cell development, hydrogen fuel cell technology, and wind or wave energy all require knowledge gained by a major in chemical physics. If graduate study is the choice, chemical engineering, materials science, physical chemistry, or nanotechnology are several of the options open to the student with a chemical physics major. |
