The B.A. Chemistry Program provides you with a sound foundation in the basic areas of inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry. The core of 41 Chemistry credits (including a required research experience, advanced writing and chemistry seminar), combined with 8 credits each of Mathematics and Physics prepares you for your future as a professional in the field of chemistry. Further, the B.A. allows for 30 to 40 credits of elective work, which can be used to complete a major or minor in a second field other than Chemistry, as dictated by their personal goals. Environmental chemistry is among the more popular secondary areas of specialization.
