Chemical Physics
From the medicines we take to the materials we make, Chemical Physics concerns the why and the how of matter in the world around us. As a student of Chemical Physics, you’ll explore the physical and chemical properties of everything from an atomic perspective. Investigating the interactions of matter with a telescoping view from the atomic, molecular, and solid state you’ll master the techniques required to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles of our physical and chemical world. Balance theory and practice with unique opportunities to conduct hands-on research with world-class professors.
