The department offers two tracks leading to a B.A. in chemistry. The Standard track includes a range of courses and is appropriate for students with an interest in chemistry, but who plan to continue in career fields such as the health professions, public school teaching or technical sales. The American Chemical Society (ACS) certified track meets the entrance requirements for graduate study in chemistry and is recommended for those students with a strong interest in chemistry and a desire for a profession in the chemical sciences.
