Has anyone majored in chemical physics or in the process?

<p>I've recently decided to presue this major.
I'd like to know how difficult is it, how much time you devote to your classes, which university do you attend, which other schools have this program, is it worth it, what do you plan to do with this degree/what are job outlooks like?</p>

<p>I have actually never heard of this major. I imagine it would be fairly similar to chemical engineering, which is considered one of the hardest majors in the world. chemical engineers make upwards of 60,000$ (US.D) starting but tend to cap off at 120,000$ (US.D). Most graduates find themselves working in supply line manufacturing chemicals and over seeing chemists and biologists or in the oil fields (where you can easily surpass 120,000$ in 10 years) Or even in energy manufacturing helping create new forms of energy. Many even find themselves in finance working numbers.</p>

<p>As for job outlook, they can do most things that requires math,management,chemistry, and physics, so the future is pretty solid as of right now.</p>

<p>What schools even offer this major? I’ve never seen an undergraduate major for chemical physics. There are a fair number of graduate schools that offer chemical physics. </p>

<p>At most schools, you’d likely just need to major either in physics or chemistry, with a minor in the other. </p>

<p>I’m a physics major and I’ve taken a few chemistry courses. These are difficult courses, so it’s going to be a difficult degree. It’s going to require a significant amount of studying time, lab time, office hours etc. </p>

<p>His is a degree which is offered in a few universities in the U.S. but is much more common in the U.K. There are many more such programs at the graduate level. It is not really chemical engineering but basically a double major in chemistry and physics and is closest to materials science. As an undergraduate, I got two degrees, one in Chemistry and the other in Physics and it is basically the same as what you are thinking of. As a graduate student, I focused on physics and I am now a materials physicist who does a lot of chemistry. In my experience as a faculty member, physics students often don’t like chemistry and vice versa. If you are able to “get” both chemistry and physics, then it should not be overly difficult as a major. </p>
