What's your major?
« on: September 07, 2005, 11:48:54 PM »
For those of you attending a college or a university:

What is your major and why did you chose it?

I'm currently doing chemical engineering, but have also considered a pure chemistry field, except I'm worried my options in a chemistry field are very limited.

I also want to transfer to Caltech or MIT in my junior year, if not, I definately want one of them to be my graduate school. Right now I'm attending ASU.

Hi MilchstrabeStern,
Majoring in biomedical, studying by distance(from home) very challenging although equally rewarding.

cheers

I am a chemical engineering major at Imperial College London.

Heard of it?

When I was choosing a course for my undergraduate study, the only thing I was sure that I wanted to study chemistry, computer science, and learn how to build my own machines. I am amateur programmer since the age of 12.

In the end, I realise the chemical engineering course has some elements of chemistry (although minimal, other non-chemistry courses've virtually zero chemistry), programming (C programming, MAPLE, MATLAB), and I can build machines (actually pumps, pipes and complicated pumps also known as reactors).

LOL. Not too bad a choice. I get a little of everything I wanted to study.
