NCF would be essentially grad-school-lite, so they send a lot in to PhD programs.

So do Caltech and Harvey Mudd. They lead everyone by far, in fact, in percentage of grads placed in to PhD programs.

How focused do you want to be? In Canadian unis, essentially your last 3 years would be all chemistry. In England, all three years would be chemistry.

This is what Carleton says:
“The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a professional society for chemists that has provided guidelines to baccalaureate institutions on best practices for teaching chemistry to undergraduate students. An ACS certified chemistry major requires more breadth and advanced study than the regular Carleton chemistry major. Students interested in continuing in chemistry after graduation in either graduate school or industry should consider the guidelines of the ACS certified chemistry major when planning their studies.”
