Computational Chemistry and Chemical Physics (ScB)

About this programme

The Computational Chemistry & Chemical Physics concentration is an interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of chemistry and physics and is administered jointly by the Chemistry and Physics Departments. The concentration provides students with a broad-based understanding in fundamental molecular sciences, as well as a background for graduate studies in physical chemistry, chemical physics, or molecular engineering. Concentrators are required to take twenty courses in chemistry, physics, computational science, and mathematics, although approved courses in applied mathematics, biology, geological sciences, or engineering may be substitutes. Computational Chemistry & Chemical Physics concentrators are also advised to take at least six courses in the humanities and social sciences. Computational Chemistry & Chemical Physics concentrators at all levels (first-year through seniors) are actively involved in research with faculty members in both departments.
