Chemistry • Bachelor of Science in Education • Minor Chemistry/Pre-Medical Track • Bachelor of Science |
Degrees offered by the Department of Chemistry are the Bachelor of Science with a Chemistry major, the Bachelor of Science with a Chemistry/Pre-Medical Track, the Bachelor of Arts with a Chemistry major, and the Bachelor of Science in Education with a Chemistry major. A Pre-Medical concentration is available in the B.A. curricula. Preparatory programs for other professional schools can be developed for either degree. A minor in chemistry is also offered.
The B.S. degree with a Chemistry major 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 Pre-Medical Track includes all courses required for entrance into medical school and gives the student the flexibility of choosing medical school or graduate school after graduation.
The curriculum leading to the B.A. degree with a Chemistry major 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 semester hours in another degree program and decide they want to earn a degree in chemistry. The Pre-Medical concentration includes all courses required for entrance into medical school.
The B.A. degree with a Chemistry major 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.
Either degree in chemistry provides excellent preparation for entrance into a variety of professional schools, including dental, veterinary, pharmacy, chiropractic, and law. The student considering going to one of these professional schools after completion of a chemistry degree should work closely with his or her advisor and select additional courses as required by the professional school.
The curriculum leading to the B.S.Ed. degree 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. The B.S.Ed. degree with a Chemistry major program is also certified by the American Chemical Society.
