I study polymer materials, and material chemistry is also one of the majors in our college. The application of this major is still very extensive. It is very easy to find a job if you are employed, but the working environment may be a little harder in terms of loudness. After all, it belongs to chemical engineering.
No university can change majors within a certain range under any special circumstances, but it depends on your grades and your own intentions and whether it can be deployed between different colleges or between different majors in the same college.
