What majors pair well with the chemistry minor?
Explore complementary majors that build upon and tie into the chemistry minor.
Art and Archaeology, Archaeology Concentration
Computer science modeling (and video game technology) is increasingly used by archaeologists to enhance reconstructions as well as in data analysis.
Art and Archaeology, Art History Concentration
This pairing is for student pursuing careers at the intersection of digital humanities and art history.
Art and Archaeology, Studio Art Concentration
Digital methods for making art are increasingly prevalent in the contemporary art arena, and this minor would give studio art majors the tools to incorporate these processes into their practice.
This pairing allows you to translate complex mathematical concepts into runnable programs. Students pursuing this combination are well-prepared for careers in data science and analytics, quantitative finance and machine learning/AI as well as entry into graduate programs.
