Harvard’s joint BS in Chemistry and Physics unites two fundamental sciences for students who crave a deep, quantitative grasp of how molecular interactions emerge from physical laws. Majors dive into quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, solid-state physics, and advanced spectroscopy while learning synthetic and analytical chemistry in state-of-the-art labs. Research spans quantum materials, ultrafast reaction dynamics, and astrochemistry collaborations with the Center for Integrated Quantum Materials, positioning graduates for PhD study and frontier R&D.
