The Chemistry Program offers two degree plans, the BA and the BS. The latter degree has two options, BS and BS Professional. The BS Professional option is certified by the American Chemical Society and is designed for the chemistry student who intends to pursue an advanced degree or wants a competitive advantage in employment after graduation. ACS-certified degrees are recognized by industry and graduate schools as meeting the standards set forth by the ACS Committee on Professional Training. The BS degree is designed for the student who plans to seek employment in a chemistry field upon graduation. The BA degree is designed for the student who plans to use a background in chemistry in association with another area of work such as business, journalism, marketing, or law. Many pre-med, pre-vet, pre-dental, and pre-optometry students find the BA in Chemistry an excellent major in their pursuit of a professional degree. Graduates with BA degrees also obtain jobs in analytical, environmental, and drug testing labs. Students in any of the three degree options may choose to specialize in environmental chemistry by taking the astericked advanced electives shown in the program descriptions.
