Programs of Study

The following programs are available throught the Department of Chemistry:

B.A. in Chemistry: The curriculum leading to the B.A. in Chemistry is designed to allow for the workable union of nonscience areas with chemistry in such a way as to retain the fundamental science and mathematics requirements needed for a career in chemistry.
B.S. Chemistry/Pre-Medical Track: The Pre-Medical concentration includes all courses required for entrance into medical school.
B.S. in Chemistry: The B.S. in Chemistry is a professional degree, certified by the American Chemical Society.
B.S. or Minor in Biochemistry: A B.S. in Biochemistry and a minor in Biochemistry are also available through the Biochemistry Program, a cooperative program of the Biology and Chemistry departments.
B.S.Ed. in Chemistry: The B.S.Ed. degree with a Chemistry major is designed to prepare the student to teach chemistry at the secondary school level.

M.A. in Chemistry: The M.A. in Chemistry is based largely on course work, compared to the M.S. degree, which requires an original thesis.
M.S. in Chemistry: The Master of Science degree requires an original thesis. Students enrolled on a full-time basis typically complete the program in two years.
Minor in Chemistry: Twenty study hours are required for a minor in Chemistry.
