B.A. Chemistry
Description
The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry is designed for students who want a broader, more general education than is possible in the Bachelor of Science Degree program, while at the same time receiving a substantial background in chemistry. This degree program is compatible with preprofessional education in such fields as education, medicine, dentistry or lab technician. Electives should be selected to suit the student's specific career goals.

Course Schedule
Below is a sample four-year setup. This schedule is meant to provide students with an overview of the various courses required for the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry. There is much flexibility in both course selection and scheduling due to the number of electives in the program. As a result, the choice of a minor or double major suiting your particular career goals can be integrated quite easily into the four year schedule. Chemistry electives include any of the following: 320, 390WR, 391, 392, 420WR, 430, 445, 450, 491, 492, 515, 528, 529, 545, 546, 547. Graduate level courses (with permission of instructor) can also be used as electives. At least 50 hours must be at the 300 level or above. This is important to keep in mind when selecting electives and Social Sciences & Humanities courses. Of the three GenEd courses in Social and Behavioral Sciences, one must be within the Department of History. In Arts and Humanities, you must take one of each (designated A or H by the College). Cultural diversity requirements may be double-counted as shown below. The program requires two upper level WR courses, only one of which is shown in the semester listing below. The second WR can be a chemistry elective (390WR or 420WR) or a course outside the department. No more than 40 hours in Chemistry may apply towards the Bachelor of Arts degree.
