What are some good universities for undergrad and grad chemistry?

Hello,

I’m currently a junior in high school. I was wondering what public universities in California have good chemistry programs. I’m planning to aim to become a pharmaceutical chemist in the future because I’ve always had an interest in chemistry and I wanted to work with medicine development/discovery.

For many years, I’ve been considering UC’s and Cal Poly as my options. However, that was when I was considering a different career path. I’m not sure which universities are good options for a chemistry major.

Can you please give some recommendations please?

Thanks!

Cal, UCLA, and UCSB are the best for Chmistry.
