The departments of Chemistry and Physics jointly offer a concentration in chemical physics. The concentration consists of 10 courses in chemistry and physics, which include Chemistry 120 or 125, 190, 321 and 322; Physics 190, 195, 290 and 295. Students must also complete a course in research methods in one of the departments, either Chemistry 371 or Physics 390, followed by a Senior Project, chosen in consultation with the committee, in the appropriate department. Mathematics 113 and 114 are required for 200-level classes in physics and 300-level classes in chemistry. Honors in chemical physics is based on outstanding work in courses and in the Senior Project.

The programs in chemical physics, chemistry and physics are built on small classes, extensive research opportunities for all students, and close collaboration between students and instructors. The Chemical Physics Program, like all the sciences, is strongly grounded in Hamilton's innovative liberal arts approach. Students build their writing and speaking abilities along with their laboratory skills.
Students and professors research and publish together regularly. Over a recent five-year period, students have co-authored and published more than 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals with faculty members from the Chemical Physics Program. All faculty members maintain active research programs in such fields as materials science, laser spectroscopy, atomic physics, theoretical physics and computational chemical physics.
A concentration in chemical physics can lead to an incredible range of career options. Recent graduates have entered education, medicine, engineering, marketing and a variety of advanced technological fields.
