BA Degree in Chemistry (effective in 2007-2008 catalogue year and beyond).

The Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry is appropriate for students preparing for a career which is closely related to chemistry, such as Environmental Science, Marine Science, various allied health sciences, chemical and pharmaceutical sales, or teaching at the secondary school level.   The B.A. degree in chemistry requires 124 semester hours credit, including 45 hours of Basic Studies, and the following:

General Chemistry CHM 101-102 4-4
Organic Chemistry CHM 211-212 3-3
Organic Chemistry Laboratory CHM 211-212 1-1
Quantitative Analysis CHM 235 2

Option 2:  One advanced laboratory and Teacher Education Requirements (See School of Education section of catalog.)

A minimum GPA of 2.0 on all chemistry courses counted toward the B. A. degree is required for graduation.

Suggestions:  Under Option 2, if Secondary Teacher Certification in General Science is desired in addition to Secondary Teacher Certification in Chemistry, take another BIO course, PHY 260 and two courses from GLY 101, 120, 150.

Suggested electives for students interested in the following areas:

Environmental Chemistry:  CHM 377, CHML 377;  BIO 205, or 206; EVS 195, 495; GLY 120, STT 215.

Marine Chemistry:  CHM 475; BIO 205 or 206, 362; GLY 150.

Industrial Chemistry:  CHM 365, 435; CHML 435, 445; ACG 201, QMM 280 or STT 215.
