Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (BS CHEM)
The
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is a degree that is certified by the
American Chemical Society,
and the names of our graduates are on file at the Society’s headquarters.
This program is recommended for those interested in attending graduate
school in a science, working in industrial or government labs, or those
who are pursuing a professional career in chemistry or planning to pursue
post-graduate studies in chemistry.
In addition to UA general education,
English, and foreign language requirements, the BS CHEM involves math through
calculus III, two semesters of calculus-based physics with labs, and about 56
units of core chemistry course work. BS students complete courses
involving:
- general chemistry
- organic chemistry
- quantitative analysis
- instrumental analysis
- physical chemistry
- inorganic chemistry and
- biochemistry
- and will choose from a variety of
electives which can involve independent research, preceptorships,
internships, or other approved chemistry courses.
Bachelor of Science in Education -
Chemistry Option (BSC CHEM)
he
Bachelor of Science in Education with a chemistry emphasis is designed for
students wishing to follow a career in middle or high school teaching.
The
College of Science Teacher Preparation Program provides these majors
the opportunity to take courses and engage in school experiences that will
lead to eligibility for teaching certification. This program requires
math through calculus II, two semesters of calculus-based physics with
labs, 26 units of core chemistry course work plus 11 chemistry elective
units; 27 units science teaching; 3 units science pedagogy, and 12
units of other electives, in addition to UA general education, English,
and foreign language requirements.
In their last year of this program,
education students spend time as a student teacher in a local school to
get experience working in the classroom.
Vicente Talanquer is the major
advisor for students in the BSC program with the CHM option.

Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry (BA CHEM)
he
Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry is a liberal arts degree and is designed for
students planning to pursue professional degrees such as medicine, dentistry,
law, business, or pharmacy for example.
The BA CHEM requires math through calculus II,
two semesters of algebra or calculus-based physics with labs, and 35-37
units of core chemistry course work, in addition to other UA graduation
requirements. BA students complete courses
involving:
- general chemistry
- organic chemistry
- quantitative analysis and
- physical chemistry
and will select an area of focus
involving a two-course sequence from instrumental analysis, inorganic
chemistry, biochemistry, or organic synthesis to complete the major.
 Chemistry Minor (CHEM)
Please
read FAQs before contacting a CHEM
advisor.
Requirements:
1) 8 units of
general chemistry as:
2) 12 additional units of CHEM (cross-listed
courses are OK) preferably from two different areas of chemistry
(beyond general chemistry) that must include at least two units of lab work (CHEM
405 is not a lab) Notes:
-
CHEM 257a, 302a, 396a and 391/491
do
not apply to the minor
-
A minimum of 3
units toward the CHEM minor must be completed at UA; a 2.000 GPA is required for
all University Credit in the minor regardless of catalog year.
Students do not need to obtain a
signature for the CHEM minor on either the Change of Major form or on the
degree check, as long as the minor is completed as structured and defined
on the APRR, and the student is not requesting the application of a
transfer course (without a UA equivalent) or requesting a UA course
substitution in the minor. Questions can be directed to
Robin Rarick.
