Chemistry Major, B.A.

Students interested in eventually pursing graduate studies in chemistry should consider the Bachelor of Science in chemistry. An even more rigorous track is a Bachelor of Science degree certified by the American Chemical Society; this track includes more hours conducting research than the other B.S. program. While any of the degrees offered by the department provides the opportunity for professional school admission, the Bachelor of Arts in chemistry, with fewer credit hours than the B.S. degree, allows students to explore other disciplines through electives, providing the well-rounded educational experience professional schools seek.
