    Chemistry Undergraduate Programs

    Bachelor of Science in Chemistry - Chemical Physics Specialization

     Chemical Physics is focused on the development of theoretical constructs and experimental methodologies to infer the properties of bulk matter from a molecular prospective. Chemical physicists seek to unravel varied mysteries such as how proteins fold, how nanostructures form and behave and how small molecules interact with cell membranes. The chemical physics option at IIT provides a solid foundation in chemistry with extensive coursework in physics and mathematics allowing students to make connections with how to use the language of mathematics and the laws of physics to solve chemical problems.
