Chemistry Major at Monmouth University

Applying to College
1

<p>My son is recently admitted into Monmouth University in NJ and plans to major in chemistry. He's been accepted into a number of top colleges around the region, but likes Monmouth. Does anyone have insight into the chemistry program and how it ranks amoung other programs in the northeast? </p>

<p>Is it possible to enter into an engineering career with only having a chemistry major? </p>

<p>Are there promising internship programs for chemistry majors?</p>

<p>Is there a benefit to attending Monmouth as a chemistry major as compared to attending another schools chemical engineering program?</p>

<p>Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I dont have info on Monmouth U. However it is 3 towns down the shore from me. I would think it would be hard to get an engineering position w/ol getting an undergrad engineering degree at a minimum. Which you cannot get at Monmouth. Most engineering programs take all 4 years of study and you cant transfer in after 1 or 2 yrs. Have you looked at Rutgers? They have a very good engineering program and have relationships with NJ Drug mfgrs like Johnson & Johnson. Also UDEL is very good for chemical engineering and has very close ties to Dupont, I think. Hope this helps.</p>
