Bachelor of Arts - Chemistry - General

Chemistry is the study of all things chemical, such as chemical processes, chemical compositions and chemical manipulations. It is an exciting time in the field of Chemistry — science and technology career opportunities are seeing unprecedented growth. Opportunities to work as a researcher, chemical engineer, forensic chemist, pharmaceutical chemist, biotechnologist, or as a chemist within areas such as law, defense, public health and the environment, abound.

Students with a B.A. in Chemistry receive a solid grounding in several of the major areas of chemistry, such as Organic, Inorganic, Analytical, and Physical. The B.A. is very similar to the B.S. in Chemistry degree, with the former having more free electives compared to the latter. Typically, B.A. and B.S. Chemistry graduates go on to further their careers by attending graduate school, medical school, or by acquiring a job in industry or academia.
