<p>Which Major/Minor Combination Is Most Likely To Nurture Scientific Creativity?</p>

2

<p>Chemistry, Minor in Math </p>

<p>Or </p>

<p>Math Major Minor in Physics</p>

<p>Any of the sciences will require a good bit of creativity once you begin research. Physics with a minor in another science along with a math minor would be great. Math minor is pretty much already built into a physics curriculum. </p>

<p>If you want to push your mind to the brink, I would say math or physics is a great major to facilitate that. As far as job options that these combos open up, I am not going to comment because we know that the normal few people on this forum are going to show up and tell you to stay away from science at all cost no matter if you asked for it or not.</p>

<p>Any science can be creative when trying to discover something at the cutting edge of discovery. (As can engineering when trying to design something at the cutting edge of design.) But not everyone gets to work on the cutting edge of discovery (or design).</p>

5

<p>I am actually somewhat surprised that none of the contributors have mentioned the likes of physics/philosophy and/or computer science/cognitive science …</p>

<p>Those are included in “any science” which can be used creatively (or non-creatively).</p>
