The fundamental nature and extensive application of chemistry to other fields of science gives the chemistry graduate a variety of career choices and advanced study opportunities. Among these are industrial chemistry, government service, sales or supervision, secondary school teaching, and entry into graduate or professional schools. A program of maximum flexibility can best serve this wide variety of potential interests.
