Careers

Unfortunately, because the number of joint Chemical Engineering/Materials Science Joint Majors is relatively small, there is no data on the trajectory of joint majors. Those who are interested in the major are encouraged to look at the 2018 Career survey for Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, individually.
