Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry/Biochemistry with Chemistry Option

Chemistry and Biochemistry–Chemistry Major, Bachelor of Arts (BA)

This program features less concentration in chemistry than the bachelor of science and is not intended to prepare students for employment as a professional chemist.

Note:

• two years of a single high school world language or one year of a single college-level world language is required;
• a minor is advised but not required for this option.

Grade Requirements: due to the cumulative nature of chemistry courses, the department strongly recommends that students receive a grade ≥C in all prerequisite chemistry courses.

The following plan of study is for a student with zero credits. Individual students may have different factors such as: credit through transfer work, Advanced Placement, Running Start, or any other type of college-level coursework that requires an individual plan.

Courses may be offered in different terms and not all courses are offered every term, checking the academic schedule is paramount in keeping an individual plan current. There may be some courses that have required prerequisites not listed in the plan, review the course descriptions for information. Students should connect with an advisor to ensure they are on track to graduate.

All Undergraduate students are required to meet the Undergraduate Degree Requirements.

This major requires the completion of the World Language requirement. Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree must complete two years of a single language in high school or one year of a single language in college.
