A chemistry major must also take supporting courses in microcomputer applications, mathematics, physics, and biology for a strong interdisciplinary background. All chemistry majors are encouraged to complete a minor in another science discipline or mathematics. Each spring the Chemistry Department presents several awards. For Bohn Scholarship applications, contact the Chemistry Department chairperson, or the Office of Financial Aid. Science majors are encouraged to plan to work toward advanced degrees in their area of competence.
Financial aid is usually available to help with expenses during graduate school in chemistry.
A master's degree in business administration or a law degree can be a useful adjunct to a science degree.
