The Bachelor of Art degree is appropriate for a student not interested in graduate school 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, science teacher on 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:

First Year

 

Fall Semester

 

Spring Semester
