Chemistry is a broad and comprehensive study that applies to both the natural and man-made world. Studying chemistry can open up many career opportunities in health, environment, energy and more. Students should study chemistry because it bridges the gap between the physical sciences and biological sciences, as well as providing a better understanding of how our world functions. Studying a chemistry degree in college is a great way to prepare for a career in the chemical industry. Chemistry majors learn about how substances interact with each other, learn to design drugs, work in the lab, or do research. It is also a requirement to study other disciplines like biochemistry, organic chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
