Chemistry • Bachelor of Science in Education • Minor |
Degrees offered by the Department of Chemistry are the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry, and the Bachelor of Science in Education with a Chemistry major. The first two degrees are under the College of Natural Science and Mathematics, and the third is under the College of Education and Educational Technology. The department offers a formal pre-medical concentration in the B.A. curriculum and a Chemistry minor.
The B.S. degree in Chemistry is a professional degree and is certified by the American Chemical Society. The student completing this major should be qualified to assume a position in industry or government as a chemist or to pursue graduate studies leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, forensic science, or an associated field.
The curriculum leading to the B.A. degree in Chemistry is designed to allow for the workable union of other disciplines with chemistry in such a way as to retain the fundamental science and mathematics requirements needed for a career in chemistry. A careful selection of electives will qualify the student for entrance into many fields in which there is an acute need for persons with scientific training, and, at the same time, satisfy the entrance requirements of various professional and graduate schools. This degree may also be of interest to students who have completed a significant number of credits in another degree program and decide they want to earn a degree in chemistry.
The B.A. degree in Chemistry can incorporate a complementary program in almost any other field in the university; some disciplines which make useful combinations include biology, business administration, computer science, criminology (forensic science), English (technical writing), geoscience, government, physics, and safety science. In particular, a student seeking a career in forensic science should major in chemistry.
The B.A. program offers a concentration in Pre-Medicine. This concentration includes all courses required for entrance into medical school and is sequenced to prepare students to take the MCAT in the spring of their junior year. A degree in chemistry, with Pre-Medical concentration, gives students the flexibility of choosing medical school, graduate school, or employment in the chemical industry after graduation.
Both degrees in chemistry also provide excellent preparation for entrance into a variety of other professional schools, including dental, veterinary, pharmacy, chiropractic, and law. Students considering going to one of these professional schools after completion of a chemistry degree should work closely with their advisor and select additional courses as required by the professional school.
The curriculum leading to the B.S. in Education with a Chemistry major is designed to prepare the student to teach chemistry at the secondary school level. Upon completion of the specified coursework and the requirements of the teacher certification process, the student is eligible for Pennsylvania certification by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Additionally, the curriculum in this degree program is designed so that students have the opportunity to obtain a B.S.Ed.–Chemistry degree certified by the American Chemical Society.
