(The other is to gain a B.A./B.S. in chemistry and then obtain a Master of Science in Teaching [M.S.T.] for teacher certification, or to apply to our new 5 year B.A./MST program). In addition to the General Education courses, the requirements include a 31 credit hour core of chemistry courses, an additional six credit hours in calculus, eight credit hours in physics, and four credit hours in biology or earth science. The 38 credit hour education component includes educational theory, methods and student teaching, as well as the advanced writing requirement.
