Degree Programs

It is important that students consult closely with their department advisers about their programs, particularly in the selection of proper electives to satisfy the entrance requirements of the various professional schools.

  • The Bachelor of Arts in chemistry is recommended for those students interested in secondary education science teaching,  certain careers in health medicine or a career in the paramedical laboratory specialties. The prospective secondary school teacher should also consult the Department of Education and Classical Learning.
  • The Bachelor of Science in chemistry is recommended for those students who seek employment as a chemist/biochemist or for those who intend to study chemistry in graduate school. Research is required for the BS degree.
