Special Opportunities for Chemistry Majors

In addition to the major, students may elect to minor in computational methods or education, or complete a major in biochemistry. As well, the following special programs are available to Bryn Mawr chemistry majors:

  • 4+1 Partnership with Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science
    Bryn Mawr's 4+1 Partnership with the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science allows a student to begin work on a master’s degree in engineering while still enrolled as an undergraduate at Bryn Mawr.
     
  • 3-2 Program in Engineering and Applied Science
    Bryn Mawr — in partnership with the California Institute of Technology — allows a student interested in engineering to transfer, after three years at Bryn Mawr, to Caltech to complete two full years of work there. At the end of the five years, the student is awarded an A.B. degree by Bryn Mawr and a B.S. degree by Caltech. Programs are available in many areas of specialization.
     
  • Combined A.B./M.A. Degree Programs
    The combined A.B./M.A. program lets the unusually well-prepared undergraduate student work toward a master’s degree while still completing the bachelor’s degree.
     
  • Summer Science Research
    Visit the Summer Science Research site to learn more.
     
  • Noyce Teacher Scholarship
    Bryn Mawr College, as a partner in the Philadelphia Regional Noyce Partnership, offers a number of $15,000 scholarships to science and math majors who have been accepted into the Bryn Mawr/Haverford Education Program as a post-baccalaureate student pursuing secondary teacher certification. Students receiving this award must commit to teaching in a high-need school district for two years.
