Suggestions for Undergraduate Majors in Chemistry, Biochemistry, & Related Disciplines. What shall I major in? What will I do after graduation? Should I go to graduate or professional school, or is it time now to begin my career? If I plan further study, should I do so immediately, or can I work for a while? This brochure assumes that you have chosen a major in chemistry or biochemistry and are thinking seriously of getting a job in industry after graduation. It is meant to help you use your undergraduate years to prepare effectively for a career in chemistry or in a related discipline.
