What it is	Chemical physics is the study of how chemicals behave and change using the tools and ideas of physics. You'll learn quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and spectroscopy alongside traditional chemistry, focusing on the atomic and molecular level rather than large-scale reactions. This program suits you if you're strong in both math and science and want to understand the physical principles underlying chemistry rather than just memorizing reactions.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
