Any good university will have adequate or better programs in chemistry and chemical engineering. The various UC campuses are excellent.

 

Job experience will depend on what you wind up doing. A chemist developing new molecules for the pharmacy industry will see different things from a chemical engineer working in an oil refinery, which is different from a propellant chemist compounding new rocket fuel, or a chemical engineer working on combustion processes for a power generation company.

 

Eugene Wigner, the Nobel Laureate noted for introducing group theory methods to quantum mechanics, was educated as a chemical engineer. You are not confined narrowly by any degree.

Ok thank you very much. Currently i am looking at UC Davis' Chemical Engineering program. I would love to end up working more in the environmental section of chemical engineering. Currently i go to Midland School in southern california (midland-school.org) which has influenced my focus on more environmental aspects of the future.

Hi, I'm new. I am currently a Junior in High School and science is my favorite subject. My father studied Chemistry and ever since i was a little child has done tons of awesome Chemistry and Physics experiments with me. Our garage is full of awesome things, ie. a medium size tesla coil that my dad built, a vandegraph generator, and assorted chemistry and physics instruments. I plan on studying some science in college and am currently stuck between Chem, and Chemical engineering. So ya. Hi

Are there any Universities that are good for both degrees? I live in California so the UC's are definitely in my sights. I do have moderately good grades, could be better, but not bad, above a 3.5 gpa. Also what are jobs like out of college? and which are there more job opportunities for? Thanks for your help.

Sounds interesting. We read Sophie's World in my World History class this year. i really enjoyed it. It makes learning things very interesting when combining them with history and modern people. I might get this book and read it. Thanks for the post!

Hello, I am currently going to be a Junior in high school and about now is the usual time for college talk. I have been doing a little research on my own, and it may be a little early, but thats just how i am. Anyways, the reason i am posting is because i can't decide yet on what i want to study. now i know... its a little early, but still, i want to get a head start so i can change my mind in time if need be. I love chemistry. its what i love. but i also love doing things, changing peoples creations, and problem solving. and that is why i am stuck between studying chemistry, or chemical engineering. please if you could give me some advice that would be very nice, ie what would a job out of college be for both majors, where are good colleges for them, or what i really should think about when deciding. thank you!
