Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 71 courses
The major is recommended for students planning careers in chemistry. It is suitable preparation for graduate study in chemistry or medical school and for work as a professional chemist. The curriculum includes related courses in mathematics and physics as well as core courses and a concentration in chemistry. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a department course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a department course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
