Chemistry BS, Looking to go into computational chemistry

[t14dan]

Hi Physics forum.
I am a BS in biochemistry, looking into going into computer programming with my chemistry degree. I got A's in Gen Chem I and II, Organic Chem, Analytical Chem, Physical Chem, but I sucked at Biochemistry and got a C-. I got a B in Calc II but I was good at the Integration. I just had difficulty learning Taylor and McLauren Series. Dunno, It just felt like ******** when there were no numbers involved. I did really try, I just couldn't help feeling like I could just look this stuff up on wikipedia. Anyways, I don't have great job prospects in R&D b/c of my biochem grades (I got C- in both semesters) and I don't quite feel ready to commit to graduate school (I know people who have gone to graduate school, so I have some(not much) understanding of how much the expectations are.
So, here is my question.
I'm going to get a lab tech position at a chemical or research company. With dedication, could I learn computational chemistry from some sort of online or night school, or is this a pipe dream?

Also, do you know of any colleges or universities that offer this kind of opportunity?

The short answer to your question is yes - you can learn computational chemistry from online or night schools, and many colleges and universities offer courses in this field. However, it's important to note that to really become proficient in this field, you'll need to have a strong background in mathematics, physics, and computer programming. You may need to take additional courses to supplement your existing knowledge in order to fully understand the concepts and techniques involved in computational chemistry. Additionally, if you plan to pursue a career in this field, it would be beneficial to pursue a graduate degree in a related field. If you are looking for universities or colleges that offer courses in computational chemistry, you can search for programs online. For example, Stanford University has an online course in computational chemistry. Other universities such as Harvard, UC Berkeley, and MIT also offer courses in this field. It's also worth noting that there are some organizations and companies that offer training courses in computational chemistry. Some of these include the American Chemical Society, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Overall, learning computational chemistry is possible through online or night school, and there are many universities and organizations that offer courses and training in this field. However, it's important to note that having a strong background in mathematics, physics, and computer programming will be key to mastering this field.
