Department Chairperson:
The Bachelor of Arts degree is appropriate for a student who desires entry into a professional school, direct employment in industry, or entry into a non-traditional field combining the knowledge of chemistry with another discipline. For example, combined with English, it makes possible a career as a technical writer or editor; with Environmental Studies, an environmental advocate; with Education, a science teacher at both the primary and secondary levels; with Business, a technical manager, administrator or sales representative; and with Computer Science, a developer in bioinformatics. The B.A. degree alone allows Chemistry majors to pursue admission into professional schools such as medical or dental school as well as careers in forensic science, art conservation, food science, or nutrition.
The course of study normally pursued by B.A. Chemistry majors is:
