<p>I'm currently at the end of my junior year and have decided that I would really like to major in something related to chemistry while in college. I am looking to get my BS and masters in one run and then will either get my PhD right after or soon after with a small break. I quite dislike physics but I do adore chemistry and biology. What kinds of majors do you guys recommend?</p>
<p>Chemistry? Biochemistry?
Is there a particular reason why you want to get both a master’s and bachelor’s degree? You can go straight into a PhD program with a BS. You can’t avoid physics if you want to major in something chemistry related - you’ll have to learn classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and waves and optics in your lower division physics classes and quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics in physical chemistry classes - that’s a lot of physics. Also keep in mind that chemistry in college is not quite the same as chemistry in high school - oftentimes, what you will learn is not what you’ve learned in high school in greater depth but completely new concepts and ways of thinking about things.</p>
<p>The only way I’d recommend getting a science degree is if you plant on going to health-care professional school. such as med, pharm, dental, OT, PT, Opt, PA etc. Otherwise science degrees are generally atrocious for employment.</p>
