University of California, Los Angeles
Chemistry/Materials Science B.S.

The Chemistry/Materials Science Interdepartmental Program provides undergraduates an opportunity to pursue a major that encompasses both engineering and physical science. Students in the program develop a strong background in chemistry as well as explore the properties and applications of engineering materials. A notable aspect of the major is that it offers students a much stronger grounding in the fundamentals of chemistry than any other engineering program. Graduates of the program are well prepared for careers in the microelectronics, aerospace, biomedical and energy industries where the synthesis and processing of new materials are strongly dependent on chemical methods. In addition, the program provides excellent preparation for graduate studies.
