Where Can Chemistry Take Me?

Clarkson chemistry graduates apply their knowledge to products as varied as textiles, metals and pharmaceuticals, and in fields as diverse as medicine, national defense, environmental protection, and criminal investigation. In addition to teaching and research and development, many of our graduates have established excellent careers in such diverse fields as journalism, law enforcement, scientific writing, patent law, technical communications, and chemical or industrial sales. Others have gone on to medical school.

Chemistry offers a strong foundation for graduate study in the health sciences, and a special advisor assists students in preparing for medical school requirements. The curriculum also provides excellent preparation for Clarkson's Doctor of Physical Therapy degree program, along with Pre-Physical Therapy advising.

Clarkson's chemistry curriculum offers numerous choices that can be used to pursue interdisciplinary study. This flexibility allows you to add a specialized concentration of courses, a minor, or even a double major in a related discipline such as Biology, Environmental Health Science, Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics. Pre-law is also an option.
