Materials Chemistry Concentration
The Department of Chemistry is now offering a Materials Chemistry concentration for the B.S. Degree in Chemistry. The concentration is intended for students interested in the application of basic chemical principles to the discovery, design, and characterization of materials (including polymers, inorganic solids, nanoscale materials, and biological materials). For each student who graduates after completing the Materials Chemistry upper division requirements listed below, the concentration will appear on the student’s transcript under memoranda.
