While many chemistry graduates embark upon a career in the medical profession, a chemistry degree can unlock a variety of career options. Chemists employed in industry find scientific solutions to many societal issues, including research to cure diseases, find ways to improve the environment, discover new materials to make our homes warmer in winter, or create new textiles to be used in the latest fashions. A degree in chemistry provides a great background for entrance into medical, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, and many other professional medical graduate programs.
Demand for chemists and materials scientists is expected to stem from innovations in a variety of research areas, including nanotechnology and biomaterials.
Chemists will be needed to develop improved products and processes, such as new medicines and methods for ensuring food safety. Materials scientists will be needed to research and develop affordable, safe, high-quality materials for electronics, energy, transportation, and other uses.
Overall employment of chemists and materials scientists is projected to grow 6 percent from 2022 to 2032.
