Chemistry-related majors at UCs

<p>which UCs are strong in chemistry related majors??</p>

<p>What type of chemistry interests you? Say, pre-pharmacy chemistry?</p>

<p>"which UCs are strong in chemistry related majors??"</p>

<p>UC Berkeley is the only university in the United States that has a College of Chemistry. Other universities have departments of chemistry, but not an entire college dedicated to the subject area. Within the College of Chemistry at Cal, there are three majors: chemical engineering, chemistry, and chemical biology.</p>

<p>Look at number 97 on the periodic table, what do you see? Yes, Berkelium.</p>

<p>yea im more interested in prepharmacy chemistry</p>

<p>Didn't they make Californium too? UCSD is pretty nice for pre-pharm, but take it as biochemistry, not pharmocological science since it's not as accepted as biochem. <<< What my friend who's doing that told me 'cause she switched her major after she got in.</p>

<p>sorry what do you mean pharmacological science is not accepted as biochemistry?? :S</p>

<p>I'm not sure of it myself, but this is what my friend who's training to be a pharmacist told me. Some places don't seem to recognize pharmocological science as much as biochemistry. At any rate, UCSD has a good reputation for pharm, and them opening up Skaggs only makes it better. For general chem though, I agree with Righteous Berkeley is pretty strong.</p>

<p>ohh do you why??
then would it be better to major in chemistry or biochemistry for pharmacy?</p>

<p>Biochemistry. I think you might want to do research on it, though. I'm hearing this from people going in this major but I never bothered to ask in depth since that isn't the field I'm looking at right now.</p>

<p>ohh i see. thanks for the info Peppers :)</p>

<p>Ask this question on Student Doctor Network:</p>

<p>They are more knowledgeable about such matter.</p>

<p>another question.
how are the bio / chem majors of UCs comparing to USC</p>
