Understanding chemistry means understanding the world around you ? from how cooking works to how detergent gets clothes clean. Chemists study substances at the atomic and molecular levels to develop new and improved products, test the quality of manufactured goods and develop new theories. Chemistry majors graduate with strong problem-solving skills that are transferrable to a number of professions.
