Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
This degree is designed for the student who wishes to become a chemist, but for some reason does not wish to complete the requirements of the BS-CHEM degree. Many students planning to attend professional school (medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, law, business, etc.) elect this degree. With fewer requirements in advanced chemistry chemistry courses, the degree gives students the opportunity to elect other courses that may be necessary or useful as foundations for professional programs of study undertaken in the future.
The BA-CHEM degree also can be used as one part of the requirements for the student who wishes to obtain a dual major or construct an interdisciplinary degree. Notice that the BA-CHEM degree requires French, Russian, or German (at the elementary level) as a foreign language. A BA-CHEM student who wishes to keep open the option of becoming a BS-CHEM major (or proceeding to graduate school in chemistry) would be wise to elect a language. See the description of the BSE-CHEM curricula for other options.
