Chemists tackle a broad range of challenges, from environmental cleanup and pollution prevention to creating the materials that will take humans to Mars. A Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry will provide many career possibilities. It has been called the central science because it occupies a pivotal place in many disciplines. As such it serves as the foundation for many other professions such as medicine, biotechnology, ceramics, chemical engineering, polymers, materials, metallurgy and environmental sciences.
