B.A. Chemistry

If you’re looking to pursue other fields of study outside of chemistry but still want to possess knowledge and an understanding of the chemistry field, then a B.A. in Chemistry might be the perfect degree for you. With this Bachelor of Arts degree, you will develop critical and creative thinking skills that will enhance success in other professions such as:

  • Medicine
  • Research 
  • Dentistry
  • Technical Writing
  • Teaching

 

A B.A. in Chemistry offers students a broader focus in chemistry. This means students have the option to choose from a diverse list of liberal arts subjects and actively shape their education to their interest and also requires fewer credits than a B.S. degree.

 

Career Field

National interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines have highlighted the need for graduates trained in these areas, at all academic levels and as a matter of highest national significance.

 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “chemists and materials scientists study substances at the atomic and molecular levels and analyze the ways in which the substances interact with one another usually in laboratories and offices and typically work full time and keep regular hours.”

Careers

With a B.A. in Chemistry, the door to a variety of scientific careers will be open to you! You can work in laboratories or offices analyzing, creating, or synthesizing substances, as well as creating models and testing the predictive power of theories.
