Would you like to understand and predict the structures and reactivities of molecules using powerful supercomputers? Or simulate the use of new polymers in electronic devices? What if you could find better candidates for drug development?

Computational Science is an interdisciplinary field which uses skills from mathematics and information technology to tackle real-world scientific problems which can only be solved through computation.

Chemistry encompasses the synthesis and study of molecules and materials, the exploration of their properties and the development of ways to use them in real life. The ability to process large amounts of data, and accurately model complex reactions, is essential to this diverse field.

In this dual major, you will learn to construct realistic mathematical models and simulations, perform quantitative analysis of scientific problems using computers, and develop skills to solve real challenges in the chemical sciences.
