The Bachelor of Arts program is primarily for students who have a special interest in chemistry but who intend to pursue careers in such fields as medicine, dentistry, education, or business.

The Bachelor of Science program is designed to meet the standards set by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society, and students who complete the B.S. program will be ACS certified upon graduation. This program offers students the opportunity to prepare for careers in chemistry or related professions. With its heavier concentration in science and mathematics, it prepares a student for positions in the chemical industry or for graduate school.

Environmental Studies and Environmental Sciences

The college is currently developing majors in environmental disciplines, which can currently be completed as Contract Majors .

Writing Requirement

In the Chemistry department, the Arts and Sciences writing requirement will be fulfilled in laboratory courses by the required weekly laboratory reports, a term paper, or problem sets. In non-laboratory courses, the requirement will be met by a term paper, essay questions on examinations, or problem sets. It is expected that a median of about 2,000 words will be required per student per semester for all upper-level courses.
