CHEMICAL PHYSICS

Guiding Committee
 

Students in the chemistry or physics programs may participate in the interdisciplinary programs in chemical physics. The philosophy underlying the program is that the solution to contemporary problems must increasingly be sought not within a single traditional specialty but from the application of different disciplines to particular problems. Although this program is not a formal concentration for undergraduate students interested in chemical physics are encouraged to perform undergraduate research with participating faculty, to pursue a course of study that will familiarize them with both physics and chemistry, and to participate in the weekly chemical physics seminar series. Students interested in this program should contact any the participating faculty.
