What can you do with a Degree in Chemistry?
|
So many Wesleyan Women combine a degree in chemistry with a strong liberal arts foundation that we're starting to wonder what can't you do with a degree in chemistry!
Students majoring in chemistry at Wesleyan often choose to pursue one of two concentration areas: a professional/graduate school track or a pre-professional health track. Postgraduate opportunities for women holding a degree in chemistry are excellent. The job market for chemists is at an all time high and our graduates have chosen a wide range of postgraduate opportunities to pursue their passion for this field. All departmental faculty are engaged in vigorous research programs, and welcome the opportunity to have students work with them. Research experience helps increase our graduates' career opportunites.
