B.S.
and B.A. Degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry
The Department of Chemistry offers B.S. Chemistry and Biochemistry programs
in both the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering.
The B.S. Chemistry and Biochemistry programs in the two colleges
are identical in their chemistry and collateral science requirements and
are pre-professional in nature. In addition, the department offers a B.A.
Chemistry program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students planning
to attend graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, or an allied science
should elect the B.S. programs. The B.A. program in the College of Arts
and Sciences is not a pre-professional program and may be elected by students
who do not plan to do graduate work in chemistry or allied science but
wish a stronger background in chemistry than is provided in the chemistry
minor program. The B.A. program also affords a useful tie-in with health-related
chemistry, environmental chemistry, geochemistry or chemistry management
options. Students may transfer from the B.S. to B.A. programs or vice-versa
as late as the junior year, since basic requirements are the same for
the two. Students who are in the B.A. program and make a late decision
to attend graduate school in chemistry, biochemistry, or allied science
should speak to one of the department advisors to discuss optional course
material which will prepare them for graduate course work.
An Interdepartmental
B.S. Biochemistry major is offered in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The B.S. in Biochemistry degree is managed by an interdepartmental committee
composed of biochemists, bioorganic chemists, and molecular/cellular biologists.
