15Joint Major ProgramsJoint major programs with the College of Engineering are offered in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, and Chemical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering.
General RequirementsThe programs of study shown on the following pages contain comparable proportions of coursework in Materials Science and Engineering or Nuclear Engineering and in Chemical Engineering. Students will enroll concurrently in both the College of Engineering and the College of Chemistry, but their college of residence will be Chemistry. Continuing students may petition for change to a joint major program after they attain sophomore standing. Since students in these joint majors are not required to complete all of the requirements for both single majors, students receive one diploma upon completion of the joint majors.
Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering Many of the engineering problems facing the nation in the next decades will require solution by engineers who have training in both chemical process engineering and materials engineering. Three typical examples are coal gasification and liquefaction, extraction of metals from low-grade ores and wastes, and environmental control of metallurgical processes.
Chemical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering The areas of nuclear technology that depend heavily upon chemical engineering training include: isotope separation, fuel reprocessing, waste management, feed material preparation, fuel chemistry, effluent control, fusion reactor fuel processing, and new reactor types.
Representative Chemical Engineering Program for Transfer StudentsTransfer students normally matriculate in the fall of their junior year having completed courses equivalent to Chemistry 1A, 1AL, 1B; Math 1A, 1B, 53, 54; Physics 7A, 7B; English R1A; and most of the Breadth requirement. For such students, major requirements to be taken after transfer to Berkeley appear in the above chart.

28 Chemistry MinorNote: The chemistry minor is not available to chemical biology majors.
A minor in chemistry will be awarded to students who have successfully completed one year of organic chemistry (3A plus 3AL and 3B plus 3BL, or 112A and 112B, or equivalent), one year of physical chemistry taken at Berkeley (120A-120B, or C130 and 130B), and two additional upper division chemistry courses taken at Berkeley (with the exception of courses numbered 190-199). All of the courses taken for the minor must be taken for a letter grade. Students must achieve at least a 2.0 GPA in the courses taken for the minor for each of the following: upper division courses, courses taken at Berkeley, and organic chemistry courses if taken at another institution and accepted by the College of Chemistry as equivalent to 3A plus 3AL, 3B plus 3BL, 112A, or 112B. For the minor to be awarded, the student must submit a notification of completion of the minor at the College of Chemistry Undergraduate Advising Office.
Note: Students must consult with their colleges/schools for information on rules regarding overlap of courses between their majors and minors.
Faculty Research Interests Berkeley students and faculty are engaged in a variety of projects which cover the vital areas of chemical research more broadly than in any other department in the country. There are research programs not only in the traditional areas of analytical, inorganic, physical, and organic chemistry, but also in such diverse areas as chemical biology and nuclear, biophysical, bio-organic, and space and atmospheric chemistry.
Analytical ChemistryAnalytical and bioanalytical chemistry have undergone explosive growth in recent years due to powerful new developments in instrumentation and methods for obtain-ing increasing amounts of information from smaller amounts of material. The analytical research program at Berkeley encompasses a variety of areas including electrochemistry, microfabrication, nuclear magnetic reso-nance, and mass spectrometry. Emphasis is placed on developing new instrumentation and methods for detecting trace analytes and on methods for obtaining chemical structure and understanding fundamental processes in chemical measurements.
Main themes in electrochemical studies are in electron tunneling kinetics, dynamic processes in monolayers at the air/water interface, and development of selective electrochemical sensors based on molecular recognition phenomena. Novel optical methods are applied to air-water interfaces and to observations of atmospheric composition. Advanced microfabricated chemical analysis methods that are being developed include high speed, massively parallel separation and detection methods for the characterization of biological mixtures with high sensitivity. “Laboratories on a chip” are being designed and applied to new methods for DNA sequencing, forensics, genetic analysis and pathogen diagnostics as part of the Human Genome Project. Mass spectrometry methods for chiral recognition, stereochemical differentiation, high-speed sequencing, and direct characterization of the contents of biological cells are active areas of current research. Gas-phase ion chemistry studies are used to obtain structural information from biological molecules with the goals of increasing the information obtainable by tandem mass spectrometry of complex biomolecule mixtures.
Biophysical Chemistry and Chemical BiologyMany faculty in the College of Chemistry take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the chemical basis for biological phenomena, combining physical, synthetic, and biochemical methods. Research directions span from the behavior of single molecules to the interactions between cells in living animals. Systems being studied include signaling proteins, enzymes, DNA and RNA, membranes, and carbohydrates. Within chemistry, the disciplines of physical, organic, and analytical chemistry all contribute valuable ideas to enhance our understanding of the complexities in biology. Progress is being made throughout this field by combining new ideas in chemistry with advances in molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics.
The professors in the college have many resources at their disposal to help make new breakthroughs in understanding biology from a chemical perspective. These include new synchrotron light source producing an exceptional X-ray beam for crystallography, electron microscopes equipped for diffraction work, and high field NMR spectrometers.
Use of unnatural amino acids, isotopes, and sophisticated new forms of spectroscopy are also used to probe function. The roles of metals, cofactors, and even hydrogen tunneling in enzymatic reactions are being studied. Ultrafast spectroscopy can follow extremely fast photo-induced isomerizations (such as occur during vision), electron transfer processes, and electronic energy
