This program is suitable for a student preparing for
a career as a chemical librarian, chemical salesperson, medical
doctor, pharmaceutical salesperson, chiropractor or secondary school
teacher. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) candidate should supplement the
major with substantial courses in other subject areas. These courses
should be chosen to enhance the student's career preparation. For
example, students planning a career in the medical professions should
include biology, mathematics and physics courses in their program.
Students interested in a career in environmental chemistry or teacher
education should follow the Environmental
Chemistry emphasis or Teacher Education program.

The BA degree may serve as preparation for secondary
school teaching. A student must complete CHEM 120, 122, 250, 304
(or 340 and 342), 277, 280 and 476 to satisfy the subject matter
and methods requirements for entering the Directed Teaching Program
in Chemistry. Students seeking a BA degree in Chemistry must select
the CHEM 340 and 342 option. Students planning to teach chemistry
as a second field may select the minimal sequence with CHEM 304.
All students must have credit in appropriate biology, geoscience,
mathematics and physics cognate courses to meet certification requirements
in chemistry.
